I don't see anyone saying that. It wasn't even implied in what I posted, though it does point to your reasoning behind it ... you think crats and docs are too strong with AS pistol? Debatable, but not really relevant. The pistol didn't turn them in to top tier PVP classes overnight, though you would think it from the level of sensationalism you are displaying here.
I'm just taking the approach that the problem isn't an item, it's a game mechanic. Funny, because it appears that FC thinks along the similar lines, given their plan to change AS and fix pistol perks, which you guys seem to conveniently ignore. I recommend you check out some of the balance posts to familiarize yourself with whats going on around you. Personally, I think you have hidden motives, like you don't want AS nerfed for your profs that don't use pistols. I don't blame you. Every wants to see someone else nerfed before they are. It's easy to have your judgment clouded by what you legitimately think is THE solution. Unfortunately, your not being objective .. there is more than one way (more permanent and smart ways on top of it) to deal with all the issues you listed earlier and removing AS pistol simply doesn't address them.
Honestly, if you really think that FC is just going to up and remove AS pistol and it's fixing something, the only thing I can say about that is WOW. I could expect that sort of ignorance from alot of new or jaded players that don't know or care about reality, but I'm assuming you have played long enough to know that's not likely to happen. In a sad way it's amusing to see the angry players calling for minimal, random nerfs that will fix the whole world and more. If that's your thinking, I can only say it's just not that simple or it would have already been done.
