Should spread be reduced?

[jamz]

There's a significant but not huge majority that are pro lowering spread.
Even more people agree that it should be distributed in a circular shape and more in the center than the edges.

Even more people either think it should be left alone or don't understand/care.

...Given all this what action will the developers be taking?

I cannot code, but if I could I wouldn't touch the spread.
I'm all for adjusting obvious problems (OP AR and pub SG), but as Stranz said, this has never been a big issue in the past. Why should it suddenly become one now?
I can see that you wish for AC to be geared more towards higher skill level players, because that's what you are, but the development team has to try and take on board the opinions of every AC player, even the ones who don't voice their concerns here (and even the ones who don't voice their concerns at all).
I really don't want to go through another schism like the 1.0 -> 1.1 change over, and I believe your proposal is significant enough that this could be risked.
As a reverse-disclaimer, I play almost exclusively SMG and would benefit greatly from this. However, I think it's unnecessary. Nothing to do with realism, nothing to do with skill, just "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". If it could be 'circle-ised' without altering the mean spread, I'd be happy.
