If FC removes profession specific weapons... i would be kissing my AO days goodbye. Weapons are one of the only things some professions have, and to have a profession like engy using a div9 plasmaprojector which is soldier only, would just make the soldier profession a bit more useless... thats just one example.
Most professions are watered down enough as it is, and by going with the flow and removing profession reqs, well, why would u want to take something from a profession that they are almost depending on to keep them useful in a group. I myself being a soldier, have no other purpose in a group than shooting stuff and buffing ppl with reflect sheilds here and there. Take away my privelage to have something to cause damage that other people cant? screw that noise... i dont see too many people asking FC to remove profession reqs from nano programs (not including hackable programs), so why would u ask FC to take away something from a profession that is given to them FOR THEM!!!!
