The Loyalty pods added high energy hardpoits to the side torsos. Combine that with arms that quirk PPC velocity stats, 2 PPCs, and a lot of heatsinks and you have a poptart.
Pop tarting is just another viable tactic but your statement makes it sound like some sort of crime.
And that's the wrong attitude.

They should have just nerfed the loyalty summoner pods into the ground and left the rest of it.
No offense meant towards you, nehebkau, but that is a terrible suggestion because
awarding some "loyalty rewards" to some good customers and then 2 months later essentially telling those customers to f*ck off cause the "customers who were unable to participate" are jealous/feel left out/
are left out is bad for business.
On the other hand PGI also wants to cater to the weekly nickle & dime contributing folks to keep those pennies rolling in, so they listen to the "E-nip SMN OP PLZ NERF Noow" crowd.
And nerf all Summoners.
Theory time:
PGI looked at the numbers, saw that the amount of "hardcore Summoner only" types is niche/small enough to where the financial analyst said, "Yea, we can lose these customers and still see profits made through the weekly-customers-that-buy-in-small-amounts."
