    I never bought that explanation. You did the same thing with the Mossburg, right? But you just nerfed that one right away and the problem went away. the M4 was around for over a year, everyone was aware of it, and you did nothing. That decision didn't smell like an "oops, we done goofed" response.

    Well, that's understandable, but I was there for it. That was back in the pre-Gree shoestring days, and the simple fact was that there wasn't nearly as much attention paid to the forums as there should have been (we had our hands full with the spammers, frankly). People get upset nowadays because there may be a weekend where something is first reported in the forums and it gets missed, but back then we missed something for nearly a *year*.

    EDIT: Seriously, I wish we could just say it was a straight nerf, because the truth is embarrassing.

    Heh. So how did that meeting go? "Hey boss... I was tooling around our internet forum today and realized that 90% of our traffic for the last year is coming in off google searches for 'Crime City M4A1' and every post is talking about drop rates. You have any idea what that's all about?"

    Basically. My understanding was that it was brought up fairly early, but due to the nature of the bug it looked harmless so no one took a closer look until a lot later down the line (it was a really small staff then, and everyone had their hands full early on).

    It WAS a really good thing that the bug was dealt with before we added events, though. Duplicate data being generated could have caused even worse problems down the line. We still wish it had been sorted earlier, though.
