I disagree. There was a plan, there is a plan.
Their plan is made up of steps and I think they totally messed up how they wanted to break it up.
They thought it would be fine to nerf everything this update, then balance things next update. They didn't seem to understand that you can't make the game unplayable for 3+ months.
They didn't, and haven't, explained their vision and end goal, they have just handed us step 1 and expected us to understand the short term pain for long term gain. we don't know what the long term gain is, so we're left with short term pain which might just be long term pain. no idea.
For whatever reason the first step was reduce dps. I don't know why this is so important, but it's not just for end game trials or pvp, it's literally "the numbers need to come down across the board" and we have no idea why.
You'll note they are not backing down on nerfing everyone. In fact that are scrambling to nerf content so that the numbers can still come down without destroying the end game PvE community.

I still think the outrage over light attacks was funny. I didn't hear anyone even bring up the thing about empower giving them a 100% LA damage boost
maybe the drama and people going out of their way to get everyone to quit eso will end now. I'm here mostly to hang out anyway
magblade is getting hugs tho, so none of the haters can keep me down >:D

LA change should have stayed. It reduces necessary calculations and is basically just a generic filler attack - so who really cares. What matters more are the actual abilities - especially class abilities as they also provide class identity.

Because there was no step by step plan to fix these issues. That is why we continue to get vague notions of the why behind the what
There seems to be no plan to modify buff and debuff times to match skill time changes
There seems to be no plan on how to separate the function of sets in PvP vs PvE
There seems to be no plan to adjust the difficulty of Vet content to these changes to help new players conquer them
If I am wrong, please post the plans ZOS has laid out, I would love to know what their plan was upon launching this update, because right now it seems like the plan was just to make some broad changes and see how the community reacted to determine if was a good change or not
Needlessly to say my faith is gone
Agreed, it obviously wasn't just "knee-jerking" when ZOS themselves already agreed to at least partially revert or rework several of the changes. Trust won't come back any time soon though, not when they haven't said a word about things like completely butchering Templars, dumpstering PvP damage and deleting most DoT skills from PvP, etc.The entire knee-jerk tweet was arrogant and dismissive to the entire community and an apology should be issued.

I do not disagree about the lack of vision.
However, I don’t understand why we complain that they don’t listen and when they do we complain that they listened.
