P.S. whether anyone will actually take time out of their QQing to quantify their concerns is also another issue entirely

Since it's extremely unlikely anyone would pick the option that gauss rifles are underpowered, and nobody had yet, I replaced it with your perfectly balanced option. You may now vote with clear conscience.
You have under and over, nothing in between. When the only answers are extremes you do not get a real picture of the current state of things. Absolutes are not often correct and even less often helpful, balance is a game of nuance.

Your option is there, within the limits of the poll. How many times do I have to repeat that there can only be 20 poll options? Quit complaining and vote.

If you see a weapon group that has few votes for either OP or UP then its probably fairly balanced. About where I'd put SRMs so I didn't vote for either option for them.
Looking at the poll for an example regular lasers have the fewest votes for underpowered or overpowered. Hence it seems a lot of people find them balanced.

Thanks for your comment. The 'like them all' demographic is not relevant to this poll (it is The Role Poll, after all), and so was not included.

Ahhh yes, the soothing stacato rumble of a V6 and 3/4's, because using all 8 would be showing off

I don't see how your equipment balance question is relevant to the Role Poll topic. Better to have split it off into it's own thread where you could have put up three questions with 20 poll options instead. Limit magically increased to 60!

Good for you! When I go over the data later, and report my findings, your dubious contribution will not be included, as it appears you did vote for everything. Well done?

That is one of the many duties a Striker can perform. Fast and 4 MPL sounds very Strikerish.

I imagine a lot of people only voted for their favorite weapon either yay or nay. A lot probably skipped parts of the poll. It got more votes for being underpowered than any other weapon group.

200 votes is not far off 100% of people who voted. 20% compared to the percentages taken up by the other options in the question.
Edit: It is because people can pick more then one option.

I think this is because very few people use them, so can't speak as to the veracity of OP vs under powered. For example, not having used ACs a lot, I can't say whether they are OP or under powered. Gauss, on the other hand, needs tweaking, but I don't feel it is OP. I think the problem is that the serious contender (PPCs) are very under powered, thus creating that impression.
This is pretty clearly visible in the K2 builds - most go for super-specialized Gauss, instead of using the standard PPCs; despite the fact that there is better mobility on arm mounts and the stock K2 should be a viable mech. So, it's pretty clear the problem is under powered/disadvantaged PPCs. I think this relates more to the heat gen than any actual damage buff or effects needed, honestly. But that's just my opinion.
