I have a sneaking suspicion that the Devs have deliberately set all the new powers in I7, including the PPPs to "Craptacular" just so they can ease up to balanced rather than having to nerf anything to balance it like it should be.

According to them, yes. I know a few of the other devs have stated it concerning other powers, previously, but the most recent was the bane of my Stalker existence (oddly enough) speaking on Gauntlet.

We're testing this. We don't want to go overboard on it, then have to reduce its effectiveness later, which is a very real concern with this. This lead us to start off low, and build up from there. What you folks are testing currently is the 'second draft' of PvP Gauntlet.

So, yes. They're probably doing this with the new sets and whatnot. Probably. One can't say for sure.

I suppose that's the lovely irony. After the devs made initial sets too powerful, and needed to scale them back (aka "nerf"), folks kept suggesting that they make the sets weaker to start with, and buff them as needed.
And when it looks like they're doing that... folks complain that the new sets just aren't powerful enough. You just can't make 'em all happy...
Disclaimer: I'm not claiming to be happy with all of the various decisions the devs had made - as a matter of act, I've thought some of the choices they've made have been quite crappy. I just find this catch 22 rather amusing, though.
