nerfing BR

I keep hearing of a pending nerf to blast rifles - is there a thread on this??
Personally, I am against nerfing anything - make lesser guns stronger not stronger guns lesser, but the PVP crowd will be heard
It is what it is - If the BR's are nerfed, I hope it is not too severe as I have spent a great deal of real money, time, scrip and inventory, etc. to acquire some pretty good Blast Rifles; I won't threaten to quit or throw a tantrum - I will simply not spend another dime in the bit store (since items I choose to invest in can be rendered impotent with 1 patch)
This is only my opinion - others will disagree

Pretty sure that's just a rumor.

If they nerf anything I quit

Dont fear, they ruined pvp just to make the blast rifles less effective rather than just nerf them like they should be.

BRs were buffed some time ago and well now they are really cool (they used to suck back then)
if they are too op for pvp then they should tweak em only for pvp, for pve they work great at this stage and dont need any change imo

You should get out then. They nerf everything because of PvP.

Blast rifles do 10% more non-crit dps than other automatic ARs, but they have a really low crit multiplier and crappy accuracy.
VBI Assault, FRC Carbine, Mazu blast - will out DPS vot blast anytime they're critting.

Different tools for different jobs. Doesn't need changed, so it won't be changed.

& the whiners that live in pvp can cry and whine all they want to - trion has made it crystal clear they're not doing game wide nerfs for pvp's sake.

well I hope they learnt the lesson after all the people that left the game with the zagger nerf

Yes BRs are op in pvp still there's no getting away from it as it's fact.
Does it deserve a nerf, no imo and for this reason.
When people call for nerfs or buffs these days in pvp no one considers Rigs/Chips.
These things actually require you to have a op BR in some cases when you meet a guy who knows how to mod the things properly.

(On phone, can't quote)
OP mentioned buffing lesser guns instead of nerfing.
Which is what they have been doing.
Currently on pts (public test server) there's no blast rifle nerf.
