Alright, here we go...
The most common misconception about this nerf is that it doesn't effect people over the level 110 or 120. This is a complete lie. At level 165 (about the level dark blue shotty maxes for the 159 title caps) you cannot self equip a QL 199 ithaca... the most common gun in the game. This is with all QL 200 implants.
Much less at level 130 when the level 125 title caps come into play for the dark blue skill. With the implant stacking -NERF-, not a fix, it was never a bug, it is close to impossible for a class with 4 per level treatment to get QL 200 implants in... And that is needed if you want to get a QL 199 ithaca on when shotgun maxes out for the title caps with a wrangler, etc... And for a lot of classes, they can't constantly have the three implants in. Usually they have to have it switched out for something. Usually either the bright or faded, which means it will be outside of the 20% grace period..
Just 2 cents..
