First of all. It isn't $50 for a bar it's $75. I dug for mine so that doesn't apply to me anyway. Just wanted to make the distinction clear.

Second of all the issue I personally have with this is changes (ANY CHANGES) made after purchase. This doesn't happen in any other game. Can you imagine what the PS3 or XBOX community would do to game-makers if they tried to do this? It wouldn't happen. They know better. You get what you pay for. Plain and simple.

The excuse "If you don't like it, don't use it" is basically their way of saying "We already got your money, now we don't care what you say. However if you're willing to spend EVEN MORE real money, we'll be glad to supply you with another OP gun which we'll just mess up later." Maybe if more planning had been involved and the guns had been more balanced to begin with this wouldn't have even been necessary. It isn't the player's fault previous gun admins were SHORT-SIGHTED.

You're right about one thing. You didn't MAKE anyone spend money on anything but by changing it after they bought it, you're scamming people and just don't want to admit it.

Bottom line: Players, enjoy the game for what it is. Just don't give them any money.
