Temp-Weapon Damage Issue
Attention CF Players,
Recently we have made a change to the game which deals with the auto repair of temporary weapons when you get a new temporary weapon of the same type.
Previously the system would allow you to use a temporary weapon until it breaks, let the weapon expire, get a new temporary weapon of the same type and use it as though it was fully repaired.
After the changes, a weapon will remain un-repaired and broken even if you get a new one of the same type.
This closes a loophole that was allowing players to use crates to gain more GP over time, by not having to repair their weapons. If you want to be able to use a broken temporary weapon you must repair the weapon as normal before or after getting a new version of that weapon.
We apologize for this inconvenience, but understand that this was an unintended function of the system and was creating a backdoor for people to gain more than an average amount of GP.

You do realize that this was the chance for the not-so-rich-guys to get some GP IF they are lucky enough to hit a temp gun from a GP crate? Or maybe you don't. The majority of the ZP buyers don't even care for breaking temp guns and even want them out of their storage. What you(Z8 or whoever is behind this cr@p) did there is to make the not-so-rich-guys even less rich(don't want to use "poor" again). Who cares, screw them - we want $$$! Greedy, greedy.

I don't understand....
People earn a lot more GP if they can use a temporary weapon until broken.
2.5K GP if I'm not wrong for every temporary weapon. Without this they are surely going to earn less.
Very bad Update/Change. Especially for those who can't buy ZP and/or do the surveys. -
Guys.
It's not about "earning more GP". It's about not spending it on repairing weapons.
The loophole was closed not because people were being greedy, but the general average population was allowed to gain GP by not spending it on necessary functions like weapon repairing.
This was an unintended feature and has been fixed. There's really no need to argue the point. -

Hm... OK, having that in mind would you kindly fix the bhop! Man, it's just a freakin' "unintended" bug! It should not be there! Oh, I have even better idea - release the bhop as ZP item!!! Sounds awesome! I'll be pwning poor ba***ds all over the GM maps! Would you kindly? -

Funny I remember this being a free video game...
I spent 140$ on crossfire now in time, it was free before that, I didnt care about ZP nor there crazy guns. Yet every one crys at Z8 saying "Greedy" "Cash Cow" being as its a free video game I think that Z8 is being fair. They need money to keep the game online and how well they do that? They make some people pay. I don't say they are a cash cow becose they are not a cash cow, you guys need to remember the FREE TO PLAY aspect. Not the PAY FOR SOME COOL STUFF thats all it is, some cool stuff. Stop wasting my time reading your post's and go back to crying at Moms and Dads feet for some money in your paypal. -

At least we can be proud of the fantastic work that z8 are doing!!
There are cheaters running riot and the reg is as bad as ever,along with numerous other problems. what do z8 do? They get rid of something that doesn't even make a difference in this game,which only makes a tiny negative movement in the game.
Nice work z8. -

@Who ever said they got more ZP Do I look like I care? No.
Do I look like I'd care about that?
This "fix" is ridiculous, people will leave this game, because simply of this "fix"
I see history repeating itself againAt least we can be proud of the fantastic work that z8 are doing!!

You think this is nice?
"Cheaters"? They don't buy ZP to enjoy this game, because they think the people who work in G4 don't ban people who bought ZP. They make a ridiculous mistake with this idea.
They get banned and then Q_Q on forums.I agree, this isn't fair with who cant buy ZP!
Have you thought how the community will feel when they all know this?
