I somewhat disagree. It produces a notable skill gap for rookie players and skilled gunners. While the skilled guy knows exactly what he needs at first on his weapon to get it working well, the rookie will quite simply be tossing points everywhere, and the end result is that 30%+ players will have at least wasted 5 points on something that is useless.
