Being the GM of a guild on Playstation with hundreds of players both in game and on our Discord server, I am still nervous about what's going to happen. I have heard from so many people - friends through several years - that they'll quit with these changes. In all my years of playing this game, I have never seen a patch that had such detrimental effects. Loyal players with thousands of hours logged, paying every month, that make up such an important part of the social fabric of our community - gone. We would host training runs for new players, we would get people their first skins, we would teach mechanics and DPS testing. All this is at stake now for me as I see my friends go. I have an amazing group of 11 players in my core. We aren't the best, but we have GH, IR, vRG HM. Our next prog was going to be Godslayer. It pains me to say that I might have to RIP the core if this patch goes through - losing so many players and not knowing if it will even be possible for us. It's sad - I spend 3 x 2 hrs a week with these people.

The second iteration of U35 is a step in the right direction. But it's not enough. Light attack nerf, dot nerf, class nerfs. It's so disheartening to us who put so much effort in.

I have a passion for this game. I have a commitment to the newer players and love helping. I met my girlfriend through this game. Please think about the consequences here. Stop disrupting communities, friendships, lasting bonds. Please don't make end game inaccessible for all but the top 0.001% on PC.
