While I agree, the issue with this weapon is that it is non-renewable (once dismantled) outside of deleting and restarting a new character or just starting a new one if you have a free character slot. The prospect of delete/restart may not sit well with some people. There would first have to be a way to reobtain it without requiring a new character be created as there is no current upgrade path. Same goes for the Khovostov (sp?)
