how about the devs make a post in wich we vote on each section of the document on each weapon type change based on the community document
for example
[color=#000000]SmallLaser[/color][color=#000000][/color][color=#000000]The heat has been continually lowered on this weapon over time, yet heat is not its problem. This is possibly the worst weapon in the game because it simply doesn't deal enough damage to justify its short range. It cannot be given a faster recycle or longer range, because those are jobs for the SPL and ERSL. That leaves us with a damage buff.[/color]

• 
  
  Damage from 3.25 to 4
  
• 
  
  DpH from 2.95 to 3.64 [color=#BBBBBB](+23.1%)[/color]
  
• 
  
  Cooldown from 2.25 to 2.5
  
• 
  
  DPS from 1.08 to 1.23 [color=#BBBBBB](+13.6%)[/color]

[color=#000000]DpTick from 4.33 to 5.33 [/color][color=#BBBBBB](+23.1[/color]


make a vote like increase is smal laser damage vote
a) 4
b 3.7
c) 3.5
d) don`t increase the damage of the IS small laser

for the clan er medium laser that sucks as it is... and needs no more nerfs after its heat and cooldown allready been nerfed.... some time ago
[color=#000000]ClanERMediumLaser[/color][color=#000000][/color][color=#000000]The cERML has been an overperforming weapon since its inception. It needs some sort of nerf. The avenue we most agreed upon was damage, while adjusting CD and heat to preserve ratios.[/color]

• 
  
  Damage from 7 to 6.5
  
• 
  
  Heat from 6.3 to 5.9
  
• 
  
  DpH from 1.11 to 1.1 [color=#BBBBBB](-0.8%)[/color]
  
• 
  
  Cooldown from 4.5 to 4.25
  
• 
  
  DPS from 1.22 to 1.18 [color=#BBBBBB](-2.9%)[/color]
  
• 
  
  DpTick from 5.6 to 5.2 [color=#BBBBBB](-7.1%)[/color]

but would be like clan er medium laser change to

a) 6.5 damage 6 heat and 4.25 cooldown dps 1.18 dp tick 5.2 dph 1.1
b 7 damage 7 heat 4.25 cooldown....
c) 6 damage 4 .5 heat and 3 sec cooldown
d)
e) ... so on so forth ... and after that we see what the peoples opinion are and using the document as a base line we can decide whats best going forward as weapon changes
this would be the best aproach

This will end up people protecting or improving their favorite weapons or mechs while screwing over things they don't like.

I have to agree. Building things by committee doesn't usually work out too well. Too many personal agendas get in the way.

[ADI84000]

yes but we use the community document as a base line and start from there , and each moment we can vote on how we can change further to adress ballance , and i`m sure not everyone is biased protecting theyre favorite builds or nerfing the builds they hate and stomp them

I wouldn't trust 90% of the community to make accurate decisions regarding balance. And 90% is on the low side.

Those balance changes put forth by those select few individuals should be treated as an absolute with no say from other outside source unless it's PGI.

Good thing PGI doing really good job on balancing, right? Oh wait.

Democracy is useful for big direction decisions e.g. we want healthcare or we want a better matchmaker. Democracy is terrible for evaluating details, for example if you have cancer would you go on a forum and ask people to vote on your treatment or would you want the opinion from a qualified oncologist? When it comes to details, democracy only gives mediocre solutions.
