Anyone read "only the spindle"? No other gun could be BOUGHT at 300, why on earth people think "only the spindle" means they can buy one and upgrade that deserves what came at them. If you spent time figuring it out and looking up guides, I'm not sure how you wouldn't see the post by DeeJ or even hear someone in a video tell you that it was unintended. If you got your sniper reduced, don't just complain on the forums where you were first informed of the "near future patch". Just play the game and hope to re-upgrade it. The darkness continues to spread, get out there and do your job guardian! And if you can't agree that it shouldn't have been 280/290 when bought/dropped you're crazy. A GUARANTEED 310 was way too good to begin with. It's a cool sniper and you had to do a unique mission to attain it. They mixed it up pretty well with that. Hope more like that come in the future.
