Glad you think it's fair, OP (original post).

Hope you're still enjoying the game even as a free to play player. We definitely don't want people to feel like they have to pay which most people don't. :) We've tried our best to make a lot of the default weapons feel just as powerful as a side-grade cert.

But...We still want our paying customers to feel like they are getting their monies worth.
