I certainly can discount their views. Why shouldn't I? I'm not going to ask some random person off the street how to balance the rules of a football game? No, I'm going to ask a player, someone with *a lot* of experience in every aspect of the game.

The bare minimum for trying to pretend your views have any weight behind them shouldn't be 'oh well I was killed by a chopper one time', it should be 'yeah I can fly a chopper, and put up a 1+ KPM with it'. The rules don't need to be as stringent for lock-on weapons, because *everyone can use them and they don't require any effort skill, or advanced techniques*. I can use it once, and I've now got all the information I need to make a well informed determination about it.
