I just realized something. I have never seen funcom directly fix an item problem before. They always seem to "go around it" rather then changing the code and fixing it out right. Example of this is decreasing inits for the new scopes drastically in 14.6. i mean wouldnt it make more sense to make it not stack...or just make it not compatible with melee users? or how about releasing new weapons rather then fixing old ones. or removing some items from the game because they did not feel like fixing it. not really complaining...just an observation.. maybe by doing it this way, not as many bugs go through..the only thing i have seen a direct change was a change in profession/breed i.e. upcoming breed hp/nano changes..also m.r. changes to advies making them green as well as the ipr.
but as far as items are concerned..why does it take them so long to fix something that seems simple(might be a very ignorant question since i dont know much about programming) such as weapons inits...or lower m.r. on certain pistols so taht ql 200 pistols are dual wieldable.
