Nerfs: Why are players of ESO such hypocrites?

wishlist14

I play all classes but I thought eso was about playing anything you want to play. This class divide is ridiculous.

I just sit back and laugh with this Nightblade nerf alot of the people that are complaining about the Nightblade nerfs now were celebrating Sorc nerfs last year while I hate to see a class get nerfed since its bad game design this nightblade nerf is karma

Nerfing is not bad game design.

Never nerfing and always buffing is bad game design.

Nerfs are necessary for games that have frequent updates with new content and character power features like gear and skills, such as MMORPGs. Nerfs mitigate powercreep and correct unintended new power combinations (ie when a new gear set makes an older gear set super amazing when used with it) that are inherent to the game progression. In some cases, nerfs are used as part of or to compliment a system design overhaul, such as what they did to absorption shields and Sorcerer, what they did to the Frost Destruction Staff (making it for tanks) and Warden, and what they're going to be doing to the Nightblade class (moving away from effect-overloaded skills).

You not liking when things are nerfed does not make nerfs bad game design.

I am happy NB got nerfed. And I am a nightblade. Not by choice, but by duty.
Now we may actually see something different than full stam blade trial groups.
Other classes become more viable. Many of us despise nightblade, yet there is no other option as DD. Haracter. It's boring.
Maybe now we can go to score runs with a class we actually like.
Likely gonna be full necro instead of stam blade, let's be honest

NB tank will be disappeared in hard content with this chapter , or they need a self healer at all time .

NB healer , not much change , is that a thing ? I dont know

NB DPS , huge nerfed , but I believe Liko can hit 60k still , ZOS , you cannot nerf great players and guilds .

all ive seen so far is that sorc can faceroll all the content of the game and farm literally 50 mobs at a time with 0 effort, and the patch notes said nothing but buffs for them
its clearly a pvp change, thats going to destroy the core of the class, for the sake of whiners

People complain all the time about literally everything. Sometimes i sure wonder why they even keep playing the game if they are complaining about everything about it...
