Latest Producer's Letter
I don't like that they are doing balancing with players who just started playing the game. Warning, rant mode activated....

This always ruins games. It is one of the things that ruined DAoC for me. People will always yell NERF whenever they see something as stacked against them. Die once to one class without being able to put up a fight, they must be nerfed. How could they possibly think that the current testers have a FULL grasp on the balance of the entire game on a massive scale when they, themselves, haven't yet reached a massive scale?
Unpeaked players
Not massive
A bunch of n00b players (No offense Hamma, Mars, afex
)
Yet they understand balance already?
Bah. Balance should be achieved after release. The designers have been making and playing this game for a very long time, the game is probably fairly balanced as is. I would rather start on the underdog side to have things balanced after the game is released, truly tested, and understood, then balanced based on players who have little experience with the game yet, playing it not how it will be played in the future.
