Balancing the stats of the guns are well within our rights, you can try take toonslab to court over it but you'd have no luck.
World of Warcraft is a good example- They rebalance the classes all the time and it either goes well or terribly depending on how you play and that game has 1000% the competitive playerbase that iera does and nobody sues over it and these people PAY to play the game.
I'll be a little harsh now- so many people shouldn't be throwing tantrums over the stats of a gun that you can earn for free. Nothing in iera is pay-to-win in a technical sense. Sure, you can pay for your guns but it's convenience. Nobody needs to pay for ANYTHING with real money. Get over it, get good with some different guns and move on.
In the future this rebalance will work out well and we want to encourage sparrers and gangs to be experimenting with different guns and strategies and that's not going to happen if the whole competitive community is only using 1 of 2 guns. It's a broken system and it needs to be fixed. The right decision for the games balance isn't always the most popular decision if you ask the people taking advantage of the broken system. Our prerogative isn't to keep the top gangs happy- it's to keep the game healthy.
