I wouldn't agree to that,though.Civilians might try to abuse,too,but they can be abused as well.Either that be fixed or they keep the weapons.Plus,them having those weapons is more intriguing and makes defending easier/harder.It's realistic that some would try to defend the president and bring weapons,while the others would try to assassinate him.Like I said,we could have additional civilian classes: allied,hostile,neutral.Give the neutral ones minimum of weapons and make them invulnerable and unable to hurt others.While the other two classes would,normally,have more weapons,like how they have saw and sniper now.
I believe that the popularity of the server now speaks for itself.Yesterday,around 10 pm here,there were around 21 people on the server.By then,usually,it would go down to 10 or below.And over the day,the server often has 30-40 players.It has some meaning playing now.Why are so many complaining now?Getting soloed too much?
It has its own charm now,and people can fight equally.Let's just have some fun and forget about the rest.For now,we can't really make greater changes.As stated,Jonne has less time now and I assume he's in charge of everything.If he doesn't depend on the server,then he doesn't really have to care about it and invest time into it much,though.If you all are so eager to weaken the civilians,justtake the saw.Sniper is very needed for their defense.In reality,civilians indeed are supposed to be weak,but,that's not always the case,at least not in the action movies.
So,I suggested which weapons,fitting the civilian model,should be in their weapon pack.Those weapons,in my opinion,are not too strong,but are necessary to actually be able to do something in the game other than being soloed by abusive statswhore kids.
