It was too powerful, which is why it was changed, it was backed up by all the data they had, more than 50% of hunters used this piece in pvp. Yes, it was over powered in that regard

I guess my point is the number of people using it shouldn't matter. Now if the number of people using it were constantly on top of the leader boards, then I get it. It is simply my opinion. Used often doesn't always = over powered.
