Alright, fine. Here's an argument.
You can AFK all you want on the server and buy that flamethrower, or you could beg, I don't care.
During events, people with flamethrowers wildly pull the trigger all around trying to kill an event job, this resulting in yes, the death of the event job, but also the burning of troopers, jedi, or even naval.
I do not agree with removing the flamethrowers, but teaching people on how to use them would be F A N T A S T I C.
because i tell you what, everytime i'm fighting something, give it a minute and i'll be on fire.
Just pull the trigger once and catch them on fire, the burning and the flashing red screen is enough to spook them and let them get shot by troopers.
