Liv - I'll add that to the sheet of changes to do, and make the command grab your gender.
Regarding refunds: the entire team voted on this, and it was discussed for days on end; everyone had their chance to give their input. The reasoning for weighting higher-calibre weapons differently was that it's more likely newer players would have more cheap weapons (hence AKs/M4A1s were refunded greater than other higher power rifles), and not so many high-calibre weapons. We've already injected 450 million into the market today, and that's a massive amount considering you can spend a fraction of what you had to before to get effective weapons. While mods etc. are more expensive, you can be extremely effective with a cheap pistol/SMG, and we want to see more of that (these weapons are more suited to city roleplay than the others, which you would rarely ever see in most cities in day to day use), so you get way more bang for your buck. In the past a $500 pistol had no chance of competing with rifles that value in the thousands; now you can compete.
It's also worth noting that we're planning on adding some new luxurious items to the servers, and if everyone has more money than previously then there's no target to strive for, and therefore zero point in adding them. I also intend to work on enhanced contraband updates, adding riskier ways to make larger sums of money; the sale of mods will also drive gundealer profits.
There was some dissent in the staff team, but the vast majority of the votes were for a refund.
