Quite the opposite, I think you have gained some very nice stuff recently. I don't have any reason to make soldiers life more difficult on Rubi-Ka. I have actually participated in a quite few threads that have been about improving soldiers.heh... somehow I kinda expected North to be in this thread whining about how soldiers shouldn't get this cause nt's have it so bad. why do you hate us so much north? Must you go out of your way to try to screw over soldiers?
Perhaps, because we have been asking similar things for the past year along with fixers and got nowhere.Anyways North, we'd like as soldiers to try to get funcom to maby move this one non uber item somewhere where we could have a chance at getting it. And you've come here to say it shouldn't happen because other items arn't easy to get. Why not just give us a bump and then perhaps start a thread requesting some item you want to be easier to obtain... and then maby you might get a few soldiers to give it a bump for you?
I don't say that the gun is super uber, but it is a decent one. I don't say that the loot from Ljotur is super uber, but it is fairly hard to obtain...if you see where I am getting at.
NS MKII is not greatest thing that FC has implemented to the game, but is pretty hard to obtain (albeit Polymorp Lunatic is occasionally dropping it now, but fairly rarely). Corruption of The Pest is average nano and loses actually on DoT against old NT nanos. Res Blast is a better improvement, I would say that comperable to some of new soldier weapon improvements, but not to all of them. You got quite a lot neat stuff in the past few patches. They require team work to get for sure. Perhaps Nophex should for example drop from the trainee afterall Notum Soldier is pretty hard and drops even nicer stuff. However, I would think you guys should have to spend time getting it. It should not be a walk in a park to obtain, as none of the new useful items are for other professions either.
My other point here is that FC has never followed the same power curve on items that mobs drop to their actually killing difficulty. It is kinda sad, but true. However, who ever posted about the agent rifle has also a point.
Here is also a pistol that most pistol users would like to get their hands on (there really aren't that many choices in the game). And quess how hard it is to obtain...I am not complaining. At least it is known where it drops, now just have figure out a good way dealing with the situation.

The "uber" stuff should be on hard mobs - but the Nophex isn't uber! It's a crap gun. First: its slow. Second: its a 67/33 gun. Third: It has a stupid min damage of 1. Fourth: Its a crit gun - so except of pvm it wouldn't be worth to wear. No Soldier would ever use that gun at lvl175+ except for fun.
