What about the "MEH, not like you have a choice" crowd?
Basically -->
Should Nerf alot of the power creep, but can't.
Should redo mechanics to take advantage of the fact a computer can be a lot smarter than a "to hit" table, but can't fix mechanics.
Buff? lol. But should buff the low performers just to be fair, I guess.
Optional Difficulty only is not really a fix to your game balance, but its all we can get, so I guess optional is better than nothing.
So in the end you get:
- fix the low perfoming sets, ATs, etc.
- Optional harder contnet.
Which is what the Dev have done/are doing. Its really the only path availible, anyway.
Its just galling that some people think that means the balance stuff is being "fixed"
