Honestly, if placing a hard cap on resistances "broke such a great game" for you, you must have thought very little of this game to begin with. I mean, apparently your entire love for it hinged on the ability to buff your resistances to the point where elements like fire and lava healed you instead of hurt you, the rest of the game be damned. Right?

I think maybe you're blowing this out of proportion just a whee bit. And that's pretty much why feedback like this thread should be taken with a grain of salt.
