As for implementation, increasing speed might not be technically feasable. The 1 second speed cap is in place for server stability reasons. Because of this, an accuracy penalty wouldn't be fair. Not even if the power per shot were increased.Doing this to riflemen (increase damage,reduce speed) was debated, and wholly rejected because they were still experiencing accuracy issues. Inaccurate shots are just too unpredictable, and you can't increase damage to compensate. It just doesn't work. You'll still die when you get a "string of misses," and it willsting a lot. Putting us in the same situation is unacceptable, and we are equally justified to say so.

This is non-direct info that proves a conclusion was made that a Speed Cap would not work and will not be implemented. I could be wrong but I don't think so.How they are going to change us in Publish 8-9-10 or whenever is going to be a complete mystery until they do it.
