Give up man, I would love to see crossbows nerfed to balance the game, or nerfed for historical accuracy, or nerfed to teach nasty cunts not to be nasty cunts, but they havent been yet and weve been crying for it since 2012.
Maybe the nerf they need is something along the lines of powerdraw, so they cannot use crossbow without skill point investment.
But theres another drawback: our community is very insular, and we dont get much fresh blood, and I can understand why tbh: a new player is a shooter game can shoot pros, its only a click, and all shooters are similar, but in crpg, GOOD LUCK killing me in melee if you started this week, or even this month. Good luck, tbh, killing most of us, if you even started this YEAR. Crossbows give scrubs what they need: a viable way to kill people.
Maybe the perfect solution would be: ban crossbows from being used on an account that has any generations. Or maybe 2. And like....10 respecs or something. That way noobs can use the noobtube, but once they have been around the block a few times, its time to put away the childrens toys and play the game properly.
