itll be massively nerfed after around a month once theyve gotten peoples money for the warbond. Typical shit you see in mobas and other competitive fps games

You're probably referencing the Eruptor? It still a solid weapon to bring--keep in mind it was doing damage almost on the scale of Eagle/Orbital stratagems prior to the Shrapnel change, and has since received explosion damage increases.
All of the other Meta Warbond weapons are still either S or A Tier weapons.
I'm honestly surprised anyone is bothering with paying IRL $ for the Super Credits. They're insanely easy to get (4-5hrs of direct farming on difficulty 1-2) and it's almost been 2 full months since the last Warbond so everyone except new-new-new players should have pretty close to 1000 SC.

If I'm going to be doing something as lame as that, I'd rather just pick up an hour or two of extra work and have enough money for multiple warbonds.
I know most people don't have this option but it baffles me that people are willing to grind 5 hours in a game on difficulty 1 for what equates to $10.

It might be because I'm an MMO player (WoW, GW2, Diablo 2/3, Warframe, Planetside 2, etc) so I'm used to grinding things.
Plus I have more fun playing 4-5hrs of low level missions than I do working for 1-2hrs (and extra work isn't an option for most desk jockeys).
There's only been one day that I did 3hrs of direct 1-2 farming right before Viper Commandos came out. The rest of the time I fluctuate from difficulty 4-8 depending on how intense I feel like playing, or if I want to get familiar with different loadouts.

Bro think about that for a second, if it takes you 4 hours to get 1000 super credits from farming that is 2.50$ an hour. I can work for 30 min and I have the money for a warbond, farm it if you want, but from a cost-time perspective it makes no sense.

You know what, if you can convince your boss to let you stay an extra 30min so you can buy the warband then go for it. Other people just want to or must earn it in game.

Agreed, extra OT isn't an option for a lot of people.
I'm not saying you must grind to get SC but if you absolutely want to get it as fast as possible, just need to play a couple hours on a lower difficulty.
If you only want to play difficulty 7-9 (and 10 now), that's fine, just you will get less SC in the same amount of time.

I wasn't referring specifically to the eruptor, just a tactic the market uses in general. Live service games will generally release something behind a paywall that is better than most current options. Even if the currency is earnable to purchase that thing, or the time investment is possible, they do this so that people will still drop money to get the thing earlier.
After usually a month, once they've gotten all the money they can, they nerf the thing so that they can say they listened to feedback that said thing was too strong.
As for helldivers, yes the currency is learnable in game, yes it's slightly more friendlier than most games, but most newer players will not have had the time or knowledge that veteran players have when it comes to farming the currency.
The eruptor was nerfed. That's not deniable. Is it okay now? Sure. It could use it's explosive area back that was nerfed, but it's okay now.

Dude, eruptor is shit. I don't get what gun people are using these days. It's objectively worse than anything else I can take on bot missions. It's so slow, the aoe so poor, the damage so weak. If it took devastators out consistently and quickly, fine - but against a heavy dev good luck. Let alone 4 in a typical high level patrol.

I see it all the time on both fronts. My aim is terrible so I usually lean on my Tenderizer/Adjudicator crutches, haha
