Nah man I agree, people like goat/kellyQ certainly didn't help by flaunting their cheating with barely any consequences as they could just reroll when they got banned but the hackusating was ridiculous at some point, I never considered myself to be good at this game and there was a time when I would get hackusated at least every other game, I can't imagine what groups like MBAH/Africa City were dealing with back then.
As far as the shotgun balancing issues, yes it's annoying but it's not like LO is doing it to piss people off, they seem to be a small studio that is getting slowly overwhelmed by the gargantuan project they undertook and the constant pressure of the community bitching is certainly not helping.
