Not if they do a better job at balancing things out or preventing making the most OP gun That's a [u]BIG *if*[/u] and I'm [u]not[/u] saying they will succeed. But it's possible that they could try to make it so year-2 guns are more balanced out and you can't turn a gun with high-impact/low-stability into a high-impact/high-stability/fully-automatic visage of death. There will always be min/maxers, you can't prevent that. But if you make it TOO easy to min/max then everyone is going to do it because A) it's easy and B) you want to be able to compete against min-maxers Throwing away the old kit COULD be a way to simple say "OK let's start from scratch and prevent them from making the PERFECT-stat guns again"
