What would YOU do if you were in charge? What would you expect from people? You announce something and then change it in a very short amount of time. Would you be mad if you ordered a coffee, and they gave you tea? And now what's worse is that you are still claiming it's coffee even though you clearly know that it is tea. Own up to your mistakes and take your lashes just like every other grownup.

Own up to your mistakes and take your lashes just like every other grownup. Case in point. This one got really mad at just the IDEA of nerfing a character. Trust me, I was around for several announced nerfs and many in the community acted...appallingly. The problem is, especially when you could directly buy covers, there are people who have spent THOUSANDS on this game, as well as the time needed to win and level the covers. People who spend that kind of money typically do it for the illusion of power that it brings. If you nerf their character into something reasonable for the good of the game, some of those spenders mentally snap. But you don't fund a game with nice people. You fund a game with people who spend money. I really don't blame D3 for stealth nerfs in the future because there are many in the player base who just can't mentally handle announced nerfs.
