Well there's a lot of conversation happening in that other thread, I figured i'd make my own thread for my own proposal which I think is better I'm not calling the AK47 overpowered. That's be an exaggeration. It is however hard to deny that it's the most versatile weapon, meaning it's useful in most situations. Sure you could say the shotgun might be better at close range, but the AK is nearly just as good with it's rapid firerate and 2-hit headshots. And once you are more than 10 meters away from the shotgun, the AK wins everytime. Most vanilla maps are limited to close-medium gunfights anyways, and the rifle is mostly a gimmick because of how unreliable it is. I don't think that the AK being a rare spawn on the ground would cause people to stop buying VIP for the AK47 loadout. If anything it'll be like a tease for what they could be using when they once every few maps get their hands on an AK47 they found on the ground. It'd in my opinion make the server seem much more higher quality when this ''techincally pay2win'' aspect gets removed.
Sounds like it would fix the problem easily. Also, people that allegedly complain about it, couldn't anymore. +1
People may argue that this makes load outs un-needed... I disagree. So long as this is rare and is only maybe one ak whenever it does spawn and not 3-5. This would be alright to add. donators would still get the advantage of being able to have the ak with them whenever they want and not having to run to try and find it, and non-donators have the chance of finding it on the map. +1
-1 only reason to donate vip is to get ak but jk, I wouldn't mine since half the people cant use the spray
That's the point. If more than spawns then peoples may wonder why they should even purchase VIP when they have a high chance or finding an ak on the map.
Why would you donate just for the crutch-47? Why not donate to help the servers? The purpose of donating is to help the servers stay up, with some neat little perks added.
It's not a donation anymore, you are actively purchasing access/content, hence the change to "Store" as opposed to Donate.
For consistency and variety, we should probably add the spawn of all the donor-only weapons (P90, AWP, Famas, etc.)
I agree with this from @Milo and @Senpai Reich points. We should put in all the donor only weapons, but only one of each of them.

Also this would apply to all donor weapons spawning on the ground, not just the AK47. Maybe like 3-4 donor guns spawn per round and it's random which ones they are (So on some rounds, 0 AKs could spawn but you could see 2 Galils and an AWP)
