Thread: Pre-CU Component Nerfage
Uhm... that's sort of like saying "I lost an arm, but I have one left, that's more than enough compensation for loosing one". The stocks used to add 40 to damage and -20 to SAC, which is a lot better than only 40 to damage or only -20 to SAC.

well that was the worsest thing SOE could do .... decreasing stats on a weapon will no customer understand.
This had to be done as the CU goes live and not yet !!!
Cant count the tells i got since yesterday from customers which want a rifle or carbine with good stats.....
customer : " have heard you are one of the best WS on the server , plz craft me a rifle ( or carbine ) , my T21 has 329 DPS, i want one with more DPS "
me : " no problem, a t21 with the same stats then yours would cost around 1,2 mil "
customer : " Wooottt ??? havebought mine for30K from WS xyz , you are crazy ! "
me : " well SOE has done another nerf to the WS , i will need now 80 dam Tissues to reach these stats "
customer : * is total confused, cant understand why he must pay now 4000% more for the same weapon .... will try to contact another WS and when he realized that all will say the same then he will decide to buy an ADK ... thats cheaper than buying another rifle ( carbine )
SOE may have some nice DEVs but none of them seems to understand anything of buiseness or marketing. Its exactly the same as if you would buy a 3,5 Ghz PC in your local store for 1000 Euro and 1 week later you decide to buy a better one and the store seller tell you that you pay now 40000 Euro for the same computer. What would you do ? i think you will be happy with your "old" computer and dont buy a new one.

I take it they still work with unchanged stats, so the fact the components are "modified" makes no difference?
I tested out a schem I had made with some Flamethowers, the schem looks for a serial # not stats. 25 Flamers popped out all with the same stats as before.
