I've got a bad feeling about the bugged stats issue at the moment. I don't think they have admitted or confirmed exactly what the issue was that started it but I am guessing it was some corruption or something at their end. But since everyone has been playing since that inital balls up and been adding legitimate points to their stats, you have to suspect that if they can't separate the legit points before and after the glitch that they will either just let everyone keep their bugged stats or more likely do a reset.
I don't know how the stats are recorded but you can imagine it being pretty damn difficult to know what peoples stats were before and exactly when they became corrupted.
The thing being therefore, with RO2 seemingly wobbling slightly with the release of the BF3 beta, I can see a drastic annoucement like this being a pretty heavy blow to the like of us who spent allot of time building up points, especially as a rifleman. The longer they leave getting a solution out the more they risk people just giving up and leaving the game altogether if it turns out stats have to be reset what with the apparent shiny new thing over the road now. Couldn't have happened at a worse time.
If I'm honest, I like the aspect of unlocking weapons and personal stat bonuses in fps now, as it gives you something else to strive for personally, as well as the basic desire to win rounds, although I'm certainly not a fan of the COD MW model with its array of ridiculous perks, BFBC2 had it mostly bang on imo and RO2 is similar to this in a way, though obviously not quite as "garish".
