[QUOTE="Chaosmancer, post: 8991222, member: 6801228"] The issue with that is that study after study, practical example after practical example, shows that people don't like balance to be enforced with nerfs. If it were a single poorly designed item, or a single OP monster, that would be different, people can accept that. But we are talking about fundamentally rewriting the game.
