totally agree. Woc is what keeps the LE in (ooops. dangerous words) but i do think its a non essential grind factor that needs to be flattened to be inline with the highest rare weapons. It should have always been a status symbol with only the PAs offering something more than what the regular armours do but overall the weapons should be similar in ability to the top end rare weapons.
At the end of the day centuries old tech should not be more powerful than laser or plasma tech. therefore it was a shit idea in the first place.
ps who ever said bring para needs to be taken out behind the tool shed and shot.
