It's not the prize that makes the rifles a not-to-buy weapon.
That weapon suffers effectivity -> Pistols/Akimbo are better in EVERY range.
Now that doesn't mean that you should immediately spoil the weapon's accuracy by adding a spread of 50000000, since that isn't the core of the problem. Like i stated several times before: to avoid randomness and get the weapon balanced you need to make certain weapons effective in certain ranges. Now there are two ways to do so: 1) spoil the accuracy by adding spread -- 2) reducing damage on range.
Since first way is realised by implementing randomized factors, it is an absolute killer of competetive games, so i would recommend to choose the second path.
Can we please stop changing things that don't need to be changed and start testing stuff that DOES need to be changed??
fully agree here
You have been complaining about stuff being broken for weeks, but the thing is there has been a Trac site on Sourceforge for weeks as well.
No offense, but annulating someone's opinion by telling him to post it on a different platform is just odd.
Torhu has been addressing a ticket that has been posted on said Trac site.
Posting a ticket doesn't necessarily mean that it is worth to be worked on, right?
Maybe if you created a ticket addressing what you want fixed, maybe it will get addressed. (Note: the more descriptive your ticket is, the more likely it is to get addressed)
Instead of telling everyone to spam your ticket-system with random suggestions of how to make the game better, you should try to find a solution within this forum first. And while you are searching a solution i'd additionally suggest to listen to players who actually got some ingame-experience - especially with clanmatches.
The main-thing to be fixed is game-balance right now, and this is a complex system. So it would probably be a smart idea to think about it, before messing with it.
Last point: The Weapon-System needs to be seen as a full Set of different weapons with different parameters where every weapon got its strengths and weaknesses. When the whole set of Weapon-Parameters doesn't make sense, you won't fix it by changing startmoney and/or adjust prices.
No offense, i really admire the work done by the SG-team and i aswell admire the input given by players. But this discussion can only be lead with experienced players (ideally also in clan-matches), since new players or less-skilled players tend to not see the real problems we are facing.
