Although I am generally not a fan of the super pendullum balancing tactic to sell more stuff, SOEs latest tactic is truly brilliant. When a seemingly majority of the community are deebagz, what would sell more than making things OP, then nefing them? The ultimate griefer weapon, that's what. Not only that, but the "flare pistol" was only available for a limitted time. Now, all the lil rat bastids that missed out on this griefing weapon will be all over the next "limitted time only" griefer weapon. Was in a platoon speculating about the next possible SOGWs (Speial Occasion Griefer Weapons), and although people came up with some good ones, none really compared to the fireworks pistol... except maybe the melee dreidel. Well played, SOE. Well played.
