After thinking long and hard about the weapons and progression system of Planetside 2, I've found one outstanding flaw in the entire system.
The problem is, the weapons seem to just be a bunch of different stats. They're all the same thing with just a couple different little functions. Look at the LC2 Lynx and LC3 Jaguar for TR players. The way this weapon system works, I don't want to buy station cash to get new weapons because weapons tend to become obsolete. That is a huge problem. They aren't really unique.
In a nutshell, when I buy a weapon, I want it to become a valuable part of my arsenal that I will enjoy every so often, kind of like a toy for a kid. Instead, with Planetside 2's current system, it just fades away when the next great weapon with better stats comes out.
