Don't you have enough of them?
People who can't fathom how to counter anything so they call to nerf everything that ever touched them.
People who don't even bother to ask how to counter the thing that they have difficulties against.
People who are like John Snow in the field of theorycrafting and call for nerf of every dilligently theorycrafted build.
People who are ingorant to mechanics.
People who allways consider themselves to be "skilled" or even "great" at PvP but fail to counter anything that would pose even a miniscule challenge.
People who feel priviledged to allwyas win in PvP.
People who are incapable to accept that some builds counter other builds like a rock counters scissors.
People who whine and cry instead of think and adapt.

The Nerflings!

The bane of our forum.
The source of most nerfs.
The destroyers of fun.
Those who take away our gamestyles.


I have enough of them. Every day there is another nerf thread. I wouldn't mind if they were comprehensive, well thought, backed by math, meticulous arguments about skills/sets/mechanics that are proven to be almost impossible to counter. But they are not.
To name the few calls for nerf:
  • Zaan - a set that is usefull only if your enemy is a training dummy.
  • Mistform - a skill that merely prolongs your agony unless your enemies are incapable to predict your route.
  • Status effects procced by Elemental Weapon - source of such miniscule damage that any HOT laughs at it.
  • Jumping - yes, jumping! Because targeting is too hard in a game that literally has Soldier's 76 aimbot.

That is why I issue my first ever call for nerf!
For Nerflings!
Either make it so that every person has only one call for nerf and gets permabanned on forums after the second one or issue a 72h ban after every call for nerf.
I know that the first one is too harsh and may impede the process of real balancing.
But the second would at least make the thread author think two times before posting a call for nerf. Since he/she wouldn't be able to answer any comments in his/her thread, he/she would be forced to anticipate any counter arguments and write a comprehensive post.

Call it bashing/baiting/shaming/trolling or whatever you want. Ban me for 72 hours or even forever from forums. But this has to stop! Nerflings have to be nerfed in one way or another.

    Full support
    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    Sort of like calls for ZOS to do something about DDs who queue with no intention to tank, this is a pointless endeavor as long as people are people.

    The sort of people who die and immediately blame the other guy instead of evaluating what they could have done better are always going to call for nerfs.

    On the other hand, it would be terribly amusing to read the creative ways people would use to ask for nerfs.

    To use a recent example of a called for nerf:

    "Buff Sorc! I'm playing Deathmatch im Battlegrounds and I couldnt care less about my score as long as the team is doing great so it's just so wonderful that my Sorc teammates are able to clinch the kill with their Mage's Fury execute! Its amazing how many kills they get!

    Why, its just perfect for our team how well our MagSorcs can capitalize on low health enemies, racking up the kills no matter if their own teammates fought the enemy or we're killstealing from the other teams. Its fantastic! Definitely not overpowered at all!

    ZOS, please don't ever change Mages Fury! Even though it might be more accurate to make it only able to be procced by the Sorc's own damage, that killstealing is the linchpin of our team's BG strategy. Don't take our hardearned victories away!"


    Amusing, perhaps? But also more than a little tiresome.

    I don't know what is more frustrating. Not perfectly balanced PVP or making my gear obsolete with every patch. Let me recycle all my upgrades and glyphs from gear and do whatever you want. Why I have to be punished by your incompetence ZOS?

    Complaining that others have stupid complaints is stupid complaint.

    They should. ZOS should restrict nerf/buff post to the combat part of the forums only, and the post will need spreadsheets/video proof/ pictures/ or show an understanding of how basic combat works. Before anyone tries to change the game we all payed money for, they should at least show they have some idea of what they're talking about.

    Trolling aside most nerf post come from people that are cp810 who never learned to weave a light attack.

    It would go a long way for ZOS to show they take combat seriously by doing this.

    If what you just said was true then that would also mean that your own complaint is stupid.

    Stating the obvious is not complaint. It's stating the obvious.

    Its the impact if anonymity. You don't need any proof to claim something on the forums.

    You can go into Cyrodiil with a 10000 man zerg, in full divines pve gear, no resistance/heals/shields, overextend and get popped by 1 guy.

    Then sign onto the forums and ask that what you were killed by to be nerfed. "It does too much." Get enough people to agree and you win. Lol
