There's a bunch of threads that say exactly that. Just because you haven't read them, doesn't mean they are not there. In fact, there is at least one stickied at the top of the forum.

Besides coming to a guy's house, grabbing the scruff of his neck, and forcing him to read it, how do you suggest we "force" him to "not throw the baby out with the was water."

In reality, I think a bunch of the folks you describe realize that replacing the BCG is NOT enough to make their lower tier AR as reliable as they'd like. Because just replacing the BCG is not.

And once they get done paying for all the upgrades necessary, they realize that selling their lower tier gun and buying a new one is CHEAPER!!!!!!
