Tbh I agree with this. Many players don't check forums regularly enough.
The update you mentioned about the Uzi has to be one of the worst updates they've ever made. I'm pretty active here and I didn't even see the suggestion so no doubt it flew under the radar of most players.
I'm fact I don't even know of a single person that likes this update. I'm 100% sure if more people knew about it then it wouldn't have had community support.
