My only issue with the Vintar is that it existed in its former form for years. It was never considered op before, and it was a huge balance change without any input from the members of the server or any notification.
I feel like the nerf was almost exactly targeted for people who could actually do good with it. I never saw people getting 5+ hs per game on a regular basis each and every round. Yet, despite what others said, people did use the AK and knife and did exceptionally good with it. But where are the complaints with this? All the nerf accomplished was make some players play less and just remove interest in the weapon since apparently it was deemed OP even after all the years it has been on the server. The ridiculousness in this is that the nerf, and the other weapon changes, seemed to create this gigantic mass of distaste in the server. Unlike what a few people thought, the vintar was not some weapon you could just buy and go kill 8 people easily with. No public vote was taken account for this and that mistake, of not receiving any input, led to this clusterfuck of complaints and bitching. All this affected were the minor group of us who used it and did good with it. Barely anything has changed when it comes to how well traitors do now; just very few snipers and more AKs, which, at the moment, still rape everything in front of them. Next time a change such as this goes into account there should be at least some kind of warning or vote or something that at least gives us an opportunity to decide as a
group, the future of the server, to avoid threads like this or the other.
