As a returning player who refused to buy gold guns, from a stance of personal pride, I have to say the gold gun business model is as dead as fried chicken.
As a new/returning player I should be on the same playing field as every other player on the server. I shouldn't have to have certain mods or certain guns to make missions winnable. I'm not asking for you to get rid of mods or get rid of gold guns like the whisper, all I'm asking is make the stock guns less shit. Mods should have a 10/20/30% increase in certain stats. As it is now if you don't have certain weapons you can't compete.
The forum fanbois will keep this game in the dumpster, stop listening to them.
