Part of the problem with the Burn vs. Invincibility arguments is that they fundamentally worked in different ways, however, both were facilitated by the way Provoke worked. Burn allowed an individual tanker to reap massive rewards for very little risk, while Invincibility allowed groups to reap massive rewards with very little risk. The main bone of contention here was that both were enabled by the use of Provoke. It kept the villians close so that each power could work. Change that and you change how the powers behave, and you change the results that they yield.

I can understand why Burn/Invulnerability/provoke were/are being looked at, but it would have been a bit easier to micromanage if they had just changed provoke to start. Then muck around with the other powers. That way you don't get the drastic drop in preformance.

Again I am all for the idea that changes needed to be made to those powers, but stack them all up and you get some pain.

To the Devs: I thank you for trying to put out such a unique game which has brought enjoyment to many, but I will not give you another dollar to let me play-test a game for you. You remind me of a mother afraid to let her child go to college. It's time to cut the apron strings & start using our hard-earned money to put in new content, not frustrate us with a game of leveling cat & mouse. Good day.

This is about as myopic a statement as I have seen on these forums. For some reason people seem to labor under the belief that any game that is released will be "complete". The whole purpose of MMPGs is that they are ever evolving and ever changing persistant worlds. The notion that the game shouldn't change, or that devs will never make a mistake, or that players will never find a way to abuse the game world rules is laughable. Everything has flaws, ever system has loop holes. The dev's try to fix them where they can for our enrichment. To maintain a healthy game both nerfs and buffs are necessary to some extent. Why people believe otherwise is a mystery to me.
