I don't know what the case is for previous problems regarding balancing. I would say that this case is unique. Before I became staff on iEra, the shotguns were already released. They were absolutely terrible because the damage behavior was unlike shotguns at all. I developed an update which would improve the damage behavior. At that time, I think most people saw the update as a great improvement. However, even though a nerf was done at that time, apparently it wasn't enough.

We do test weapons before releasing, and we usually do a decent balancing job. In this case, it was a post-release update which pushed the weapon to be OP.

I would like to make it clear that if it was my decision, refunds or compensation would definitely be made. I've only posted saying that it won't happen because I have doubts that such a large scale refund would be approved by Stefan.
