BiTzSam says that most people would be infavour of this change but they are the ones that don't use these weapons.
If this happens we should be compensated, every other game does that.
For example:
Hearthstone:
When there is a change in card stats (Mana, attack, health, added/lose effect) they give the players THAT OWNED THE CARD. In-game items such as Dust or gold but mostly dust.
So we should be compensated by getting either gralats or ec.
