The stealth bugs and Nerf daggers were left in intentionally to offset the “welcome to the war within” parties that were being planned by early access players. The gear scaling bug was found in beta and left in (or so I believe) so the “general admission” players would not get a prison party as soon as they landed on the shores. After a week or so and gen-ad players have had a chance to catch up, all the “ruin your day” murdery type class bugs will get “found and fixed”
IMHO
