    In the history of MMO's, before they were even called MMO's, way back to UO, there have always been "nerfs" as defined by some, or even most players. There will always be such. The laws of unintended consequences make it certain. With as good as Z is, this one does not think it is immune.

    Nerfs are needed for balance (you can't just always buff everything which is underperforming, that would end in a mess). However what I don't support are complete meta changes which ZOS is doing every few months instead weekly updates with minor nerfs/buffs.

    Weekly no. That's too much work. They do weekly bug fixes.

    what they need is specialized teams for weekly bslalnce changes,and another seperate team for weekly bug fixes.Basically ZOS needs to sheell out some more cash.

    Every nerf in this game is due to the power creep caused by the disgusting champion system.

    All you people loving the fact that you can run on an endless, meaningless vertical progression treadmill and "feeeeeel" more powerful every point are part of the reason key and iconic class skills still get gutted.

    The controls have to go somewhere. Skills are fun. Powerful abilities are fun. Ever increasing numbers are boring. ZOS is sacrificing fun stuff for boring stat inflation.

    PvE vs PvP balance is part of the problem but the Crapeon system is the rotten core.

    Add better and better sets, just more sets and very smart theory crafters.
    However current update was hardly an nerf, I assume dps increased, more important it balanced stuff, more weapon traits works now, making bis weapon of good traits something you can farm realistic, not using months to get it.
    This is the raising the floor patch, morrowind was the opposite.

    Adding delays on lots of proc sets also make them less op in small scale pvp but don't affect pve much.

    Pro tip.

    In MMOs, nerfs often revitalize an infusion of subs and re-subs.

    This. It's not going to get better until they address the CP system. And by "address" I mean "radically alter". I don't think they have the creativity and will to do this. So. More nerfs incoming, forever. But ooo yay thirty more CP every quarter.
    Classes that don't need any class ability nerfs: Nightblades, Dragonknights, Sorcs, Templars, Wardens.

    Everytime they nerf stuff, people quit. Better to buff to underperforming things.

    Like I said pre morrowind... the problem is not that they nerf stuff. The problem is that they NERF stuff every *** update. Instead of nerfing most stuff at once and then from there on starting to buff things so people are happy.

    But at some point players just loose it if they get nerfed every update only because ZOS is too incompetent to bring balance and can not make up their mind.
