As you may know, Facepunch, the creators of Rust have recently made a Tweet about "focusing on and improving gunplay and areas of common complaints. This includes reviewing recoil handling and balance.". Here . However, there are gamers who have played Rust for thousands of hours perfecting their spray. There are gamers who play Rust only for their YouTube montages showing their recoil off. There are gamers who are so known for their abilities in Rust it's created an audience and communities around such.

The main influence to these types of changes are streamers. Popular streamers with huge audiences who have manipulated their audiences to believe this as well. Summit1g had made a comment about the reason why he doesn't play it as much "because the recoil is unlike any game". This is a problem. These big streamers don't have more than a couple hours in the game with no practice. Their experiences have been on OTV, a RP environment with the occasional RP PVP. No time has been spent to learn the game and what it consists of. 

The real audience of the game is those who have played it for a long time and have a presence within the Rust community and it is my belief that those of us who believe that this is a mistake need to speak out. If you agree with the choice to NOT change recoil in any way, and not give new players and complainers an easy way into the game we still manage to enjoy. Changing this aspect of the game can severely change the environment for gamers and ruin it. There will be a huge drop in players if this happens and we should not want to succumb to people who do not play our game!
