I’ve noticed on the forum, and other places, that running ang gunning is generally thrown upon. Everytime the topic of the aura and vets is brought, voices can be heard, complaining about vets never engaging in meele and “wasting” ammo on trash mobs. IMO it’s just unfun gatekeeping, that ended up wi…

Yeah i hate it too. I want to play the game how i want. Please give me jetpack and astartes rocket launcher. [image] Crayvun: The difference is I never told you to do anything. You told me a great deal, which I can now safely disregard as the opinion of someone who has their head up the wrong e…

Gunning or gunplay isn’t frowned upon at all. It’s not the playstyle, but the people into that playstyle that many find to be… problematic.
