Graalians - View Single Post - Guns Being Nerfed, People on Era-Go Raging for 'Refunds'

To be fair, yes the server more or less started out as P2w (talking about bar release not before that) but it's you players who are making it stay this way. On numerous times I have tried nerfing guns because believe it or not I want it to be fair aswell, and after doing it, thanks to the huge backlash of angry/upset players who are unable to understand the way balancing works, the stats had to be changed back. The nerfs that have been carried through are only minor parts of what was originally intended and because of that even though people still complain about the BAR/ Minigun nerf I still am not happy with it, and if I chose to ignore player opinions I would have nerfed it even more significantly.

Until the server 'grows up' and can see nerfs/buffs contributing to balance instead of going 'my bar has 10 less clip, I got scammed, refund me this gun is useless now' (ie. the original point of this thread) things aren't going to get better.

And yes I know people spent money irl on their guns but when a nerf is made yes the gun isn't as good as it was before, but it is still better than the guns below its price and worth what it is made so we aren't ripping you off. Something 80% of Era's players don't understand which is largely due to the server being mostly made up of under 13 year olds

(Also as Unixmad is the only person profiting off guns/packs- Snk declined Stefans offer of getting payment- and so any one saying we sell guns/ nerf guns just to make a profit are completely wrong. Honestly we don't give a **** how much money is made from them, the real reason for expensive guns is because the gun is stronger than others, and it was originally thought that only a few would buy it, not the entire server- like how auction guns work- so the guns more powerful stats wouldn't be as much of a problem as you would rarely encounter them)
