For the person saying warframe doesn't take skill. This game doesn't take much skill, that I agree, which is why we should encourage people to play with weapons that reward learning how to use them, look at zarr, Lenz, pox, mutalist cernos and weapons like it, they all require som degree of effort and knowledge of how their mechanics work to use them and they are rewarded with crazy damage output/synergy. Sure you don't have to use them to get "max DPS" but they do reward you regardless.

Now we look at arca plasmor, which by stats alone is a mediocre weapon that is vastly outclassed by other weapons, so why do so many players find themselves using it non stop? Same reason people use spin2win melees, its easy and takes minimal effort. I've been playing this game ever since it came out mastery 26 100% completion and from my personal experience over multiple years, in this entire time 99% of the players that die first and want to extract when things don't die instantly is spin2win players and arca plasmor users.

See the theme here? Low effort weapons lower your skill since you get used to things being "Easy" so when things do get hard the large majority of players who use these weapons tend to A. Die or B.Want to extract because things don't die in a single attack.
