Right now they are not.

They are still better just not to the extent at which they are currently priced at.

Heres the drift I'm getting from Bitzsam.

Back then the prices were reflective of their stats.

This was before Bitzsam was the Gun Admin.

After Bitzsam became the Gun Admin he thought this was a bad idea.

He figured that maybe the reason people aren't basing, sparring & pking is because they can't afford to buy guns good enough to compete.

Therefore, he decided to nerf all the Top guns.

& Even though he would love to refund people their money he can't because Graal doesn't do refunds.

He thought having weapons priced at $200k was a mistake to begin with but theres nothing he can do about that.

So, the only thing he can do is maintain their hierarchy because he can't give refunds.
Actually, the valuation of guns are not just because of its stats. The demand for it plays a big part than its stats. You ask that there is no way a certain statistics can be worth a certain price and this valuation may be subjective. Its true, to some extent it is subjective that a gun has to cost this certain amount.

But the other factor is that the gun is highly sought after and Era cannot possibly have everyone owning a BAR gun easily since it has seemingly good stats. So a solution to moderate this is to set it at a high price. Its demand that also determine the gun's worth.

Thats why in auctions the items sold can cost up to millions, because these items are in high demand and only the richest will be able to afford them. Same for the bar gun. You were right that the prices were not totally reflective of the stats - because the demand plays a part in its pricing as well, not just stats.

Bitzsam was reasonable to nerf the guns, but the prices of the guns ought not to remain the same, in my view. Perhaps lowering the nerfed bar prices such that it is lower than 200k but slightly higher than the next best gun would help (as is suggested in my compromise).
