They are great because they allow you to compensate for deficiensies for certain faction guns, so give you more freedom in your correctly IRP setup.
You want them to be changed so certain people can be more "special" and so the server "elite" will stick out more and you call other people "l33t noobs?". Uhm... detect a certian amount of hypocricy in that?.
Apart from that, they arent so much better than faction guns anymore. Plus they are overpriced anyway.
I'd rather take them out entirely before restraining them more for those who think the elite is better than the l33t.
