Thread: Petition to delete the temp-nerf schems/weapons from the game **Keep at the top**
Dude do you really think it will affect your buisness that much? My buisness hasnt slumped and even if it did, I still have tons of money. I would rather make the petition to get rid of all of the skill tapes period, since half of them were purchased with ebay credits. It makes me frickin sick. NERF SKILL Tapes (Because i cant afford to buy them lol).

Once the Devs decided they weren't going to implement the new crafting system, it never should have seen the light of day, not even for one second let alone a full day. However, I don't think any schematics made on that day should be reverted or nerfed, it would just cause too many headaches. I'm a 10 point smith and I haven't seen a reduction in business, and I don't think I will because of that one day.
I'll admit that I made one schematic on 3/17 that came out better than my standard: a ABPH with 21 min, 44 max and -.41 speed (my normals are 42 max damage). All the other WS schematics I tried that day came out about the same or worse than my standard. I kept the improved ABPH schematic, and I'll use it to make slightly improvedweapons forfriends and guildmatesand maybe a couple of limited edition weapons. I suppose I could have stocked up on improved ABPH schematics, but I decided to do just the one, and I don't think the decision is going to cost me much business.
Overall, however,I oppose the new crafting system because 12 point smiths go from having a competitive advantage to having an overwhelming advantage. The SEAs go from being a luxury item, something nice to have, to a necessity. And given how rare and expensive SEAs are, I don't think it's fair to inflict thatonany master smith, regardless of how long they've been in business. I'm not saying that 12 point smiths haven't earned their tapes, I just don't think having the tapes entitles them to an overwhelming advantage in the game.

I don't think they have the ability to retroactively change any crafted items.
Prenerf probots - still have 3k HAM
Old and semi-old T21s - massively better than anything we can make now
Old DX2s - they couldn't retroactively fix the accuracy so everyone had to trash their crates of DX2s and make new ones
Uncrated old FWG5/scatter/launcher - still in the game
I think the crated pistols were only affected because the item schematicswere changed. They won't be able to do that on anything else.
