You realize I'm not talking about you, Drakas, every time I used "you" in my post right? I and everyone else knows you are a good player, Drakas, no need to comment every sentence in my quote to tell us that. But the fact that you played a few matches using shotty and pull out the AR once or twice for matches are not enough proof that the weapons are well balanced in 1.0, caus they are not! Just a hand full of players master all weapons, and you will not see them with shotty and AR that much.
They way you put it, AC should aim for high level players and tournaments, while 70% of everyone in the masterserver now just came by to enjoy a pub action here and there. The question is, who should be pleased? Prominent players or the general population? Caus any change aimed to make pub games better will affect competitive matches and vice versa.
I do think the new armor values and new weapon balance leveled the field quite a bit, and hopefully will give newbies a better chance against seasoned players and to me this is not a bad thing.
Maybe if a new player comes by and start to play in pubs without being mowed down by a smg or getting killed by a sniper/pistol hit every 10 seconds it will be encourage him to stick around, get involved with the community, join or maybe form a clan so them he can start to play in a competitive level. Not sure if 1.1 will deliver this, but I sure hope so!
Just one thing: Cheaters do affect game play in pubs, caus they are a major annoyance. And I don't have to say that they affect the result of tournaments. Forgot who won the 1v1 DM in ESL, already?
