I say I used to hear a rumour that they were changed, way back before I started. But I was wrong. +C confirmed it very recently.

How can we then trust that the peerless drops were not nerfed to obyssmal chances?
Well, I suppose we have a choice. We believe the words the guy who coded the whole server said (reality) - that there were no changes, or we just make things up (fantasy) and believe that the unicorns did remove god tier weapons but the cloud fairies reinstated them.
Given this choice I tend to stay away from conspiracy theories and believing what some disgruntled vet said and I tend to just believe what +C said about loot templates. But you could be right, he secretly enabled abysmal mode on the templates then very deliberately lied to all of us just recently as part of his plan t0 make sure..?? like what?
If +C said he never changed the templates then that's what happened man. No amount of "But my friend said he used to get 3 5x58 per year, now he gets 2.8 per year...", or any other anecdotal evidence will change these facts:
They are really rare.
They were never changed.
Took me 10 years of hunting to get the weapon I wanted... keep at it man. You will find one eventually. Until you do, you can still play the game and do every aspect of it with a Top tier weapon, it might just not be "perfect".
