Fire,
Why should anything be nerfed to begin with? So what if someone knows how to slot their powers in order to solo an AV? More power to them. Who does it hurt? There's someone sitting at their keyboard with a smile on their face because they're doing something truly super. Who cares if someone can make it to 50 in a couple weeks, and starts over with a new character to do the same thing all over again? If it keeps them happy, why mess with it? They still pay every three months.

I digress... Nerfing, on any scale, is a problem, and not a solution. Nerfing is merely stripping function from a functional thing - it's the opposite of Development. (Developers, take note here.)

Uh huh. I feel like you've started a forest fire and have handed me a squirt gun with which to fight it.

You know what percentages I'm interested in at the moment? I want to know the percentage of your customers that actually want this change to their game. That's right - THEIR GAME, MY GAME. You sell it to us. You should listen to us. You should reason with us.

There are currently over 500 pages of responces to the initial thread about ED; have you bothered reading any of them? If you have, why not answer them? What of the countless IMs begging for reason? Why not give a straight, no BS answer as to why you're doing this to your loyal customer base?

I haven't said it plainly before, so I'll just be plain now to be sure that you don't miss it:

I'm mad as hell about this. None of you devs seem to care about what WE want. Well guess what? I no longer care about what you want; I no longer care about giving you money. I haven't cancelled yet, but if ED goes live I shall. At this point, I'd do it purely for spite.

Here's an interesting thought: What if the tables were reversed? What if the consensus of players decided that you make too much money and decided to arbitrariily cut the subscription cost by, say, 13%? I'd call it Financial Diversification (or maybe just F'D) - encouraging more creative living between paychecks. Oh, you'd cry. You'd scream. Oh wait! Before you cry, "Doooom! Dooooom!" know that your life will actually be more enjoyable. After all, everyone knows that your capacity for enjoyment increases when you're more in want.
