Oh, and EGHWITNB really doesn't sound like a smooth acronym.
I fear meaningful questions, luckily this thread turned out to be safe. But I don't like bananas, something about the smell
"Well, they found my diary today.
They were appropriately appalled
at the discovery of the eight victims
They're now putting it all together.
Women wrapped in silk
with one leg missing
Eight legs, one body, silk,
spider, brilliant!"

No - hairy men in kilts shouldn't eat hairy food - it just makes them hairier.

And what makes you think I am a hairy man? Or are you perhaps displaying a stereotypical view of scots?
There is a good scottish proverb actualy;
A hairy man's a geary man, but a hairy wife's a... well, I am sure we all know the ending well enough.
Well, your forum avatar makes you look wild and hairy

Ahh, if you were ever to meet me you would be sorely dissapointed in that case. Not all Scots are haggis-eating caber-tossing Nessie-hugging Weedgies. Sorry to disabuse you of this notion.

Bah, where is the fun in the banter if it all has to be qualified?
Well, it's better to make sure everyone knows it's not serious

My dear, when are you ever serious?

Is the reason everythings getting hit with the nerf bat simply because its easier for the devs to bring the few good power sets down a notch, father then buffing the many sets that struggle with game play?
[/ QUOTE ]
(lower cased for easier reading)
Exactly which sets are struggling with game play? Of course there are sets that are easier to play with and some that perform better under some/most conditions, but many sets that are struggling? I can't really think of any.
Icelock - Ice/Storm Controller
Command Bot 1 - Bot/Traps MM

But anyway i would appreciate it if anyone could tell me they felt the same way or perhaps give me an explanation as to why this is happening and prove me wrong

I don't feel the same way. I welcome their attempts to balance the game out, they are usually spot on, hell I wrote a guide to fire tanks back in the day that was considered damn good. *whispers* But you know, the bloody bastards where overpowered so we got nerfed, still play with my fire tank, just wish they buffed the set a teensy bit.
I don't always agree with all the nerfs, just most of them, and it's quite easy to see why they do it, if they as you suggested buffed the other sets into uberness, the game would become too easy. As you said it's a superhero game so we're meant to be powerful, however that's the exact thing most people said back when ED came out, and I still think my characters kick [censored] and take names.

I really should do something about this signature.
Shouldn't this be in the "Fake Complaints" thread?
Can't believe it's genuine to be honest.

No risk of that happening as I don't set paw in any PvP zone.

I'm Only Asking To See If Its Just Me That Feels That Half The Sets That Have Been Tampered With For The Worse And Also The Sets That Rumors Of "DOOM" Are Flying Around About, Really DONT NEED TO BE TAMPERED WITH AT ALL! Caps Intended.
Ok Take Brutes For Example For A Long Time We've Had The Big Bad 3 (SS,SM and EM) I've Experienced all 3 of these magical sets in the hands of a brute and it feels like this is the way the archetype was meant to be played. But obviously instead of bringing the other sets the brute has to offer up to the standard of these 3 its become accustom to bring these 3 down a notch so they don't feel as super powered. the last 2 words of that sentence hurts me inside, because WE ARE MEANT TO BE SUPER POWERED now i know i chose brutes to get my point across but it isn't just them! its happening all across COX on practically all archetypes
But anyway i would appreciate it if anyone could tell me they felt the same way or perhaps give me an explanation as to why this is happening and prove me wrong
