[QUOTE="AbdulAlhazred, post: 5639671, member: 82106"] See, this is one of the reasons why discussing things with you becomes frustrating, you don't seem to actually absorb what people are saying. There's no 'high horse' for me to get down from. As I said in my previous post, having 1000's of posts here doesn't indicate anything about whether or not people are right or wrong. LOGICALLY it does perhaps bear on whether or not we have a better sense of what has and hasn't been discussed in the past on this forum, and that is ALL I said. And then when it comes to whether or not FS was actually OP before you are of course welcome to your opinion, it is no better or worse than any other. We've all explained our reasoning and it is up to people to decide what makes sense to them. This is simply normal discussion and debate. You are correct, Wizards doesn't GENERALLY improve elements that are less powerful. They've stated numerous times why that is. Essentially it boils down to it is easier to nerf a few OP things than to amp up EVERYTHING else to the same level. That would be a huge task, they would probably get numerous things wrong, and it would just be a big mess. You can go around playing your game worrying about what WotC MIGHT do in the future or just play and enjoy the game. Nobody makes anyone use any specific errata in their games anyway. Nobody is suggesting that WotC should make changes based on 'popularity'. You commented that YOU didn't think people were complaining about FS being overpowered. Some people disagreed with this. It happens to be a factual observation that can be verified. It was verified. You didn't seem to like the fact that evidence indicated you were incorrect. Then I stated that you might consider the testimony of people who have read the vast majority of all the threads on this forum for the past three years as more weighty than that of people who started reading it 3 months ago on that topic. You have then conflated that comment into something totally different. Again, it works better when you carefully examine what people are saying. Perhaps my previous post was somehow not clear. It SEEMED perfectly clear to me. If it wasn't then I hope I have clarified it for you. Still, it works better to make sure you're really clear about what people are saying. [/QUOTE]
