In MA headquarters everything is going great. They seem to be making more than they had anticipated so management take the decision to hire a new dev to help out and speed up development tasks.
It's a lovely Monday morning the sun is shining and birds a singing lovely tunes.
New dev arrives to work and is assigned a desk. Dev notices there is a pile of tasks to do. Dev examines first one. It appears to be a suggestion from Planet Calypso Forum forwarded by Ludvig (Yes they forward our suggestions to devs). On examining closer it's a suggestion for a new tagger weapon with extremely generous eco i.e. very low decay, very low ammo cost and a very high reload speed. Furthermore has a very high range with zero damage interval. That is a damage interval of zero to zero. The person suggesting makes a case that since it does no damage it should have a low cost to use and that no damage is a worth the price since it's only going to be used to tag a mob. The high relaod speed would make it even more useful as a tagger as you can quickly change to main weapon.
New dev thinks about it and is convinced this is a good suggestion and wonders why no one thought of that before. Dev thinks shouldn't take too long to develop as an existing weapon can be copied and stats changed. What could possibly go wrong? So the weapon is developed without much effort. Dev thinks that's easy this jobs a piece of cake and moves onto next task.
A few weeks later a task for our new dev arrives from support marked extremely urgent (Yes, support forward tasks to actual people!). Dev looks at support case, it reads:
Hi,
Firstly thanks for making this amazing weapon. I read about it on pcf and people mention it's the most eco weapon to use ever. It doesn't cost too much in terms of mark up either. So thanks, I feel this game is heading in the right direction, you are making weapons more affordable.
However, I'm very disappointed that it takes so long to kill a mob. I have been killing a regular daikiba for nearly seven days now and it's HP is hardly dented. Before you accuse me of botting no I don't bot I have friends and family we take turns. This daiki better HOF or I'm going to sue your asses! It's costing me a fortune to run this gun day and night. Seems to be very slow in killing the mob. I've been playing the game for nearly 15 years and almost level 70 I know how the game works. You guys are total thieves! have always been thieves and I can't believe how greedy you are.
You can do better...
