Options would be to have all the weapons re-roll at the patch which would likely also remove all the mods to calculate the new stats. There would also be the risk of the weapon types also re-rolling as the database could glitch out or become necessary for the over all integrity of the system. Remember Trion is using a very very old game engine that had already proven to be problematic for them.
So the alternative is you might get an all new mod-less weapon with the new stat rolls, or your stuff stays the same and people will QQ no matter which way. Yes some people have spent a lot of time and scrip to get just the right mods and weapons and I think are justified in being upset at the potenial losses in not only the Weapons value, but the time and scrip spent to get them.
Just remember you do not own the weapons, you merely get to "lease" them and at any time they can be taken away. Standard rule with any online game.
