For all the crying you would think it was the end of the game. Funny, I seem to recall there has been crying before when an Issue had things that some didnt like. You will all get over it, so please, calm down and take a breath.
After reading much of the discussions about this it would seem that this will in fact be not that big a deal, and that while this will be just the first step in the process, it will be anything but game-breaking.
Yes, the PvPers out there on vill side will have to deal with psi/ blasters, but Im sure that before long there will be some heroes complaining about some of the new vill powers. It will all work out in the end....
