5.2.0.9

This argument that "it makes things easier for bad players to aim" isn't a valid one.

What makes it not valid? I wouldn't exactly say I'm bad, but I'm no 'ace' either. On a good day I'm above average. These changes to me really bridge the gap and make PvP feel a lot less hopeless. I don't want to be forced to play missiles if it's my only option for dealing meaningful DPS.

Aside from that, most people learn the game from going to conn for DUELS. Group brawls happen far less frequently than going to conn and pinging the discord. The idea that you will make brawls more accessible by making duels more inaccessible is also entirely counterproductive. There are already lower level players who have tried the changes complaining in discord about the changes screwing up their muscle memory.

My counterpoint to this is that grinding in conn for hours in duels is just simply not fun. And I think most people can also agree with that. Duels outside of conn is unrealistic. In my time back I've only had a single one verses a gazillion group engagements.
