Again, you don't have the game. Try the new perks. You may like them. There are some real cool perks in the game and I have not seen a dps falloff. Look at my grimoire, my hours played and also know I have been here since beta. I only say that because it's not an uninformed opinion. That said, I only said I believe what they did was good. It forced us to try the new game and the new game is fun. The new weapons are so very different from the old. It's too numerous to describe. Like many games as you get new and better gear as you progress. I don't see what they did as unusual, I actually see what you guys are asking for as unusual. It's not the norm in a game. To conclude, get the game, play it and then you will have an informed opinion. I'm sorry, but that is an honest response. You still have not tried the hamburger.
