I AM TIRED OF ALL THOSE ION RIFLES.
80% of all my PvP deaths I've been slain by a sniper shot wich means a rifleman killed me, both my Health and Action bars untouched while my mind bar depleted in a very short time.
Im tired of being surprised by stupid PvP wankers at starports or places like AnchorHead spamming headshot 3 with Ion riflesas soon as you gets your nose inside of their range.
I guess alot of you will just tell me to get buffed, eat alot of food and get stun armor....if thats the case, my answer is:
I have neither the time or money to run around buffed all the time, buying alot offood, and looking for good stun armor (wich is almost impossible to get withut spending a fortune)
I want to play the game, have fun and get a challenge, not running around in constant fear of beeing whacked at every corner at starports or grinding money all the time.
Wewt, another moron getting killed by a rifleman running around shouting 'NERF THIS NERF THIS'. Its just funny that he runs around without buffs, food or armor and is shocked that he gets killed easily.
A couple things you really need to have if you plan on pvp'n alot andliving through it:
Buffs
Stun armor with a high base (75+)
Food/Drink (brandy, vercupti, etc..)
PSG
Now with all of those if you have some good pvp skills you will win 9 out of 10 times in non DoT combat. Before you come screaming nerf a profession that you lost to in pvp, first think about how to pvp and be prepared. If you cant do those things, then dont go overt,or cry that some master elite took you down pretty quickly.
Just my 2 cents

It would be nice to disable all those SBD's that take forever and a day to drop...

In that case using a low damage Jawa is silly, where the T21 would do more damage.

Every other stun weapon in the game is AP0. This is what sets the jawa rifle apart from them. The ability to have Light Armor Piercing and do stun damage against composite armor. Not to mention most of the damage is usually to the head.
Vulnerabilities do not take AP into consideration. It simply allows the raw damage to go through and not get resisted by anything. Meaning a 300 damage stun baton and a 300 damage jawa rifle will do the exact same amount of damage to someone wearing stun vuln composite.
How many people do you know that pvp without stun armor? So, yes, it does take effect.

I know that a reply to my own post seems pretty stupid but:
After reading all the posts, especially those wich are constructive and informing...without any flames I fully admit that my original post was unnecessary and stupid.
and yes, I made a fool out of myself.
I wont bother you with a lot of explanations of why I hadn't either the time or money to get buffs, armor, food etc etc, or why I was overt...that would only be a BIG post filled with excuses.
And last a little to all of you who couldnt come with anything better than unnecessary and stupid posts calling me or other people noobs, or hinting to it:
I give a f***k whatever you call me noob or something else, but keep this in mind:
Everytime you say noob to a player because he is so stupid and pathetic that he/sheisn't playing like the way you do or is as dedicated to the game as you...then you are more pathetic than him/her by just saying "noob" to that person.
This is not the first time nor the last I say this: FOR F***K SAKE, stop calling everyone noob when you actually dont know what the word means, check out where the word "noob" originated from and you willsee what I mean.

<snips the unnecessary stuff>
Well be willing to talk to us here and we are all willing to help out. I am sorry that some people are not as forgiving of people who call for nerfs without knowing the situation but as we have been attacked often in the past with complaints such as this many people are frustrated.
I am Glad that we were able to educate you in some way about how PvP works in this game and I hope that you have fun playing in the aspects that you can afford to play in. Unfortunately PvP is very much end game so only the elites with hordes of cash generally do PvP. If you are not one of them you will be destroyed in passing.
