I would... Idk about that one Geno. I think that as a way to reconcile and keep order it would be a good idea to just have the zc shop close entirely and make those weapons become unobtainable. It'll make those who did put effort into getting them all feel more pr0, and when larger changes occur and new players do come, it'll still show as like a badge of veteran-ness.
That being said, I think certain items which everyone uses should still be in the game for gralats like the heal staff, rail, and alien. The other stuff(which like 10% of zone even bothered to get) could be removed entirely and then buffed.
This guns thread became an economic thread real quick.
