I agree with Silver's comments. ^^ There were/are more options than just what Gurnisson listed. And
Gurney, the weapon by itself doesn't dominate. Even good players don't get 40-50 kills with it. So as for it being rediculous or OP, you may need a
DNR for that ol' argument.
As for my style of arguing... I chose this method for several reasons: (1) There are many trolls who make pointless emo statements, so I weed them out quickly; (2) humor and even sarcasim tends to be memorable and draws attention, which I see it has done with this topic; (3) Because Silver, even though you have made some of the most consise and reasonable statements in this whole thread, as you well noted above, some ppl in authority are not concerned with genuine player feed back. They strangely listen to the noisy, whiny children... so I chose to mimic and parody them in order to be (at least) heard.
I genuinely mean no offense to you Silver or anyone else. It is a rhetorical strategy and it does work quite well. And it can be good for a laugh. If you will note, I even make fun of myself at times or ACT like I am a ego maniac like so many kids who play. (Most of the time I am laughing too much to type properly and have to edit my comments 20 times over...lol) (And my wife and kids thought the baby panic moment was hilarious. Silver, tell me you didn't smile at all!)
