Can you at least type in acceptable English grammar so I can take you seriously? The reason they won't take your suggestion into action is because it would completely defeat the purpose of price-performance value. If you're going to make a gun cheaper and release a better gun at the same price, people with the former gun are going to go up in arms about being ripped off. They paid the same price for a mediocre gun while other people got a better gun for the same price. The BAR doesn't have to be the threshold for top tier gun prices, things are probably going to go higher than it in the future. That doesn't mean everyone's going to buy it though.

Also, guns can be relatively cheap and still cost-efficient - we've seen a ton of them released and buffed lately. The Colt 6 is an amazing gun that can easily compete with M4 and Shipkas, which are leaps and bounds over its price. I'll reiterate what I've said a thousand times on price:performance threads. Price to performance ratio is never the same, and there will be guns that are disproportionate to the norm, if its for better or for worse. Let's use the Colt 6 for example. It has a 30,000 price tag, and sports 7 damage and a clip of 6. If we kept the Shipka at an exact price to performance ratio, then the Shipka would have 28 damage and a clip of 24. If you haven't noticed, guns that are raising in price aren't much better than guns that are considerably lower than it. The BAR isn't and arm and a leg over the Tachi Scorpion for the extra 170.000 you pay for it. The only real upgrade the BAR has on the Scorpion is the extra 2 damage and maybe a higher clip size. When you're into the top tier guns like the Shipka and BAR, the price-performance ratio plummets. At this point, you're just paying the extra 100.000 upgrade to chase that last 0.2 reduction in freeze or that 1 extra damage, which is a horrible P:P ratio, but might still be necessary. A great example is what Skill stated earlier in the thread.



The same is applicable to guns. Insanely expensive guns shouldn't have the same price to performance upgrade the Colt has over the Deagle, but rather an upgrade of the same caliber that the BAR has over the Scorpion at a similar price tag. For example, if a BAR was basically a 2 damage upgrade and a bigger mag over the Scorpion for an extra 170.000, then the next upgrade over the BAR should be 245.000 for the same upgraded 1-2 damage and a slightly higher clip size. Again, at this point, you're just paying the extra 100.000 upgrade to chase that last 0.2 reduction in freeze or that 1 extra damage. Guns were not meant to upgrade a hell of a whole lot at high prices.
