There they are again: the childish pathetic loosers that claim to "love challenge" ruining the game for everyone else who enjoyed it how it was, taking options away from other players and destroying the diversity of builds. And why? Because those immature loosers are incapable of making a decision. Yes, yes, they claim they don't want to "gimp" themselves but that is just their way of saying "Waah, I can not make that decision."
Wait, are you calling the playerbase childish pathetic loosers[sic], or the developers at Larian?
Do you think Larian made this change against their wishes?
I may be crazy here, but I suspect Larian wouldn't make balance passes unless they themselves agreed that the process had merit.
There's a word, 'iteration'. It's a good word, describing a good thing that results in good design.
And, a word in your shell-like, you don't come across as a very pleasant person when you lade your posts with mean-spirited little digs like that. It certainly doesn't help your argument. It kinda makes you sound like a bit of a child.
