Aldeon has a thread about novice riflemen stating that they have a hard time.. dont discount his opinion just yet. He makes some valid observations in it. You cant state that he currently thinks that 'We are ALLoverpowered' - is its not the case from what he wrote in it.

I am a rifleman, I constantly keep track of all the monthly rifleman issues/patches and I am failing to see what Alderon actually did so far? Is it only me? Ohh yeah T21 got nerfed into oblivion, Thank You Alderon. It greatly appreciated

The fact that he is a guy from Starsider makes me very sceptical .. we all know the level of pvp expertise of all Starside players ...

I don't think anyone is saying the bugs shouldn't be fixed. However, the warping bug (or 'feature') and the warping while prone bug affects everyone, not just riflemen. Same with the stutter step, although you could argue that riflemen get hit by it the most due to our damage penalty. No one is disputing that those are issues, and need to be fixed.
However -
When things are NOT bugged, when the mobs aren't floating in the air and so they don't warp on you, master riflemen are very powerful. In PvP, none of the bugs particularly affects anyone (I don't know any PCs that can warp on top of me and start meleeing). There's no other class that can match the AE DPS of a master rifleman - not even close.
Yes, levelling is harder than it was before.
No, riflemen are not gimped at master.
If you want to propose fixes, it has to be something which does not overpower the class at master level. Again, if you want pre-master rifleman fixed, it has to be a change that has minimal effect on master. This is why Aldeon proposed just shuffling when speed bonuses are given out, rather than just adding more speed to lower level riflemen.

The fact that this is even brought up disturbs me. Take a look at the WS board or others even. Other correspondents are virtually non-existent. The guy keeps pushing even though he's basically being ignored. I'd venture to say that 75% of you would have given up already, I probably would have. Try reading his post on the SWG Discussion board before calling for his resignation!
