(Oh and I think Darn’s point was that there’s no point kicking up a fuss about vanilla + medic with the current set of ETF2L rules over someone using a weapon such as Natascha which doesn’t really affect gameplay all that much, which is entirely different to saying that you’d prefer it to be allowed given the choice)

If the weapon is so useless as you say, why even bother banning it. If it proves to be useless, noone will use it and the problem solves itself.
It’s been the same with TDH – everyone initially cried about it being op but the fact is that not very many soldiers actually swapped it for the RL because either

1) it has proven to be the worse choice because of missing splash etc.
2) people didn’t bother trying to use it for long enough so they abandoned it (too) quickly (worse case scenario imo – even if I hate TDH, you got to stay objective).

Or is it just that the so-called top-players are afraid of allowing weapons which potential hasn’t been fully discovered yet and that they might be more powerful than anyone ever thought they would be?

If it proves to be overpowered with no real countertactics, you can still ban it afterwards. Banning it preventively to avoid adaption to new tactics is just premature.

Did you not see SolidSnake vs FinMix?

let’s ban scouts, pyros, demos, heavies, engies, snipers, medics and spies… to make it totally fair it’s a soly 6on6…

oh and ban all weapons except of shovel, SG is overpowered as everbody knows and Rocketlauncher is bugged (you can push yourself off the ground by firing below you).

oh and the distribution of objects is not even on blu and red all the time… ffs lets only play orange X

That was pretty lulzy. On a scale of 1 – mad, I’d say Darn was hovering around 7.1
