For a second, I was considering to put a sarcasm hint in my post but then I thought, nobody would actually misunderstand that my post is nothing more than a sarcastic retort. It was aimed to be retarded Kafein ... I merely took your words and switched "archery" with "2h" 
By the way, when we spoke ingame that other day, ( that day when you wrote "full sprint, zigzag and I still get headshot" while I was actually clearly seeing you running in a straight line because i was 2 meters behind you, remember ? ) when I asked you why you never wear armor, you said you just dont care about ranged hits anymore. I want to ask you Kafein:
As long as I can remember, for several years straight now, you come up with the most extraordinary reasons and ideas about why and how ranged needs nerfs. Day in, day out. On top of that, let us take a look at your sig:
...
I am not sure how to say this Kafein and I am sure you will excuse me if I may be mistaken but it somehow gives people the impression that you in fact do care about ranged hits, a lot.
I am aware that this is the internet and people are pretty fast when it comes to accusing complete foreigners of all kinds of misdeeds, especially in this community in my humble opinion I am afraid to say. Still, and again I beg your pardon if I judge the situation inadequately, given your eagerness when it comes to raising your opinion regarding ranged ballance in this game and also taking into account your stunning endurance with which you pursue those affairs, I am almost temped to think that you are in fact obsessed with the subject of getting ranged nerfed at all costs.
I am well aware that expressing such outright ludicrous assumptions, especially on the internet as stated above, may yield me an argumentum ad hominem rather then the self-reflexive and rational retort I am looking for. Yet I finally have to ask, dont you think you are overreacting a bit when it comes to ranged Kafein ? If you take stock of yourself and really ask yourself that question, will you be able to answer it with "no" in all honesty? If I can give you the advise without it being taken as choleric from your side, take a break from the game - it sure helped me to enjoy it more.
Now if you would excuse me, I will enjoy my new MW espada before my melee capabilities get nerfed again 
Fair point, you made me realise my post was rather unclear on that subject.
I do not wear armor for multiple reasons :
- no upkeep so the money flows in and I can afford to pay for the clan banner and renew my title
- it clearly made me better at blocking and melee as a whole
- moving fast is fun and very powerful
- the absence of wpf malus noticeably increases my damage output, which I care a lot about
- I'm almost unique in that regard, and certainly have the main character that remained consistently naked for the longest length of time. My hipster brain likes this
- it suits my natural agiwhore playstyle better. When I play heavy infantry I have to make the effort to stay near teammates
Now on why I'm naked with respect to ranged :
Over the years, I have concluced that deaths due to ranged are in fact very similar to the game crashing to desktop. You are happily playing then at random some event you have hardly any influence over happens and you can't play anymore. Even though the analogy is not incredibly accurate, ranged deaths are closer to a CTD than melee deaths, because when it's melee my own input has a huge influence on the outcome. For this reason, dying to ranged is about as infuriating as a CTD. I also realised that the rage buildup had to be vented somewhere, which I think I successfully did both ingame and on the forums with mostly constructive comments about balance and what could be done on the forum and mostly inane one liners ingame. Two things were absolutely critical to remain zen : quitting Battle mode and removing my armor. After doing both of these things, it comes out that deaths of any kind are in fact futile, as I die in one/two hits dying is always only seconds away and I can respawn anyway. On some maps I was killed nearly a dozen times in a row by Ronald outside the walls as attacker because I was standing still and he kept on shooting. I even said in chat "you will run out of bolts before I run out of lives". Being naked acheives my goal of being a waste of an arrow, even though when I'm doing good it's not that true. But mostly it acheives my goal of convincing myself that my lives aren't valuable because they really aren't. The rage comes when something valuable is taken away from you arbitrarily and unjustly, i.e. being shot.
What I would like to think some of my arguments about ranged balance are trying to convey is that this disconnection between ranged death and player input should be addressed. And as always, be fixed in a way that is fair for everybody, including ranged players. My hatred for ranged players is real, and justified : imagine yourself in a shooter where some players are isolated from the others and can push buttons that kill the other players at will. Would you not hate them were you one of the victims ? But it doesn't mean the game is bound to work like that. Had those guys a clear weakness I could exploit or were their attacks actually avoidable, the game would be fine.
The mod already had a lot of unfair or partly broken direct nerfs towards archery in particular in the past, xbows remaining mostly untouched despite being a bigger problem in many regards. Some of the nerfs were needed and improved the mod simply because melee becomes weaker all the time. But all that was mostly patching up something that was more deeply broken than the characteristics of individual weapons or movement speed. Both problems of countering ranged with anything else and surviving ranged despite being shot at have remained mostly the same to this day. I think it's understandable as there are few possible modifications that would not break something in the game.
