The stats were weaker with the tradeoff of being able to farm 1/2 the parts in the game. Also the damage difference is not nearly as big as you want to make it out to be, the upgrades at the time were tier 5 while tier 6 glacials had 20% less hp but 20% more all stats and a dd range of 59-74% dd. If you think I told yngay to make the new upgrades weaker just so I could **** on you then you are sadly mistaken.
