No one ever said I wasn't going to add new weapons. As for seeing a bunch of other players weaker than you using the same weapons as you, imagine how it would be with no item requirements. We didn't use to have them and everyone would immediately get the best weapon.

The grenade/rocket system is meant to offer more options, not make the strong weak. If nobody wants more combat options then it won't be added.

What I DON'T want to happen with a grenade/rocket system is for it to be the end-all and be-all of combat. It would be like any other weapon where you have a chance of hitting or not, but with the added result of harming yourself in the process (or both opponents). With rockets you would lose a round of combat to put the launcher down and pick up your normal weapon. The price would need to be set in a range where it's reserved for those times they are needed, not every battle. And I think it would be pretty funny for a defender to pick the grenade up and throw it back before it goes off.

As for any Joe using a rocket launcher to take out a level 50 with one shot, that's not what will happen. Besides, rockets aren't light and grenades aren't very accurate.
