I just went to my bank today to grab a crate of pre-nerf FWG5, that are my pride and joy AND I made, but to my horror I can't get them out of the crate and the game says, "%T are no longer in the game. Please remove from your inventory." I am very disturbed by this. I crafted these myself out of the most rare and expensive resources. All I do is craft and have been a WS since day 1 of this game. I am one of the best weaponsmiths on my server. I have never exploited. I play nice with others =) I even started a city and pay for the upkeep, 690k a week, from the profits so my 88 citizens will have a nice place to play.
Why were my best weapons that I made and held onto like fine wine taken from me with NO warning ?They are not double sliced. They are not Krayt. They are meerly pre-patch. They are approx. 30 dmg 0.3 speed better than what I currently make. Why am I being penalized when all the double sliced weapons and non-crated pre-patch weapons and pre-patch Krayt weapons are STILL in the game ? My factory made weapons did not unbalance the game. The easy to solo Krayts did. The high stat tissue did. The lack of weapon balancing did. My profession still suffers from most of the Master Level weapons being junk. Up till this patch we had the Master level DX2, the gun meant to be the UBER Pistoleer weapon hampered by low dmg, bad speed and horrible range mods...Range mods only thing fixed. Not to mention the Pike Weapons that were just as good as wiffle bats.
And people wonder why crafters stop crafting or why people are quitting the game. Stealth nerfs ...Changes with no communication do not hurt the exploiters...It hurts the average player. Thanks for diminishing the game for me

I feel for you on this issue.. I am not happy with what SOE does to fix things and screw the rest of us.. This was a totally uncool stealth patch

Wow... this is ridiculous. I am not a weaponsmith, I am a smuggler. I bought these crates of prenerf FWGs with the intent of slicing them and reselling them. I think I have (had) about 100 left in crates, as well as around 20 prenerf scatters. I find it incredible that they think it's cool to just go ahead and delete such expensive items with no warning, when there was no exploiting or cheating or dishonesty going on...
I hope this is just a mistake, or some side effect of the new weapons going in. I'll be mighty disappointed if this change sticks.

You also gota look at it this way , SOE nerfed the guns since they were to strong . They told evryone in good faith that they were going to due away with the uber stats , and nurf them . Instead of agreeing with them , and just keeping the ones you have . You all created Crates opon crates of'em so you can use them under SOEs nose . They realize that the weapons wernt going away as fast as they wanted it to . So they just did away with all the extra ones people wernt useing .
If you think about it , it was for the best . It would = out the professions in the long run . Witch is what evryone was complaning about , and is what they were going to do with the professions . The guns just un= them . Possibly not by much , but enough .

when they nerfed fwg5s it was because you were able to add krayt tissue as well as projectile feed enhancements. at least that was the only reasont hey gave us back when they did it.

Just so everyone knows what "uber weapons" were included:
I had a crate of scatters with these stats:
1.9 speed and 180 damage
Thats going unbalance the game? LOL
My laser carbine which is "legal" has a base damage of 300 and fires at 1.0 a second with my speed mods.
What a joke.

You also forget what the DEVs have ALWAYS said....
that the most powerfull weapons in the game would be those crafted by players.....
Kori....that really sux....Long live Mos Vista

i am very heated about this. I bought a bunch of these guns for my wife as a gift so she did not have to search for guns considering how fast pistols burn up, she went to go get a replacement today, and could not get one out of the crate.
i want her guns back, or the 14k a piece i paid for them back..........
just curious, SOE trying to drive customers away? this is rediculous...

I hold 4000 Pre nerf FWg5 which i cant get out of crates lol. They are not Krayt and have base stats of 213 max 1.7. In the server i play on about 400 million credits worth. Either they let me get them off the crates or they will spend an entire **edit**ing day with me refunding me the resources i put in them.
