Stop asking for nerfs!

I can not emphasize this enough, but everyone that is asking for any nerf needs to stop. It ruins the game and if you feel like you should be better because "they" are too strong, then ask to make yourself more effective.

Worst case, nothing happens. Best case, they improve your abilities without hurting someone else. If there is really an issue where another ship/class is a bit strong, then they can always increase the difficulty of missions -- but nerfs hurt the characters and the community.

If X group gets nerfed because Y group asked for it, X group will be mad at Y group.

It is just a negative behavior ... so stop.

    Nerfs are bad. Don't vote for nerfs.

    You know who liked nerfs? Stalin liked nerfs. You don't to be like Stalin, right?

    You know who didn't like Stalin? Hitler didn't like Stalin. Wouldn't want to be like Hitler, no?

    It is important to note that a major problem with WoW was the constant nerf/buff cycle. It made it very difficult to pin down a role in game. Warriors became sub-standard tanks for a long time, leaving warrior players without a role, due to other clasese being buffed as opposed to warriors being nerfed.

    I think so long as a nerf or buff is justifiable then it should be done, but it should be done sparingly. In any PvP game a buff to one class may be a nerf to another. So in that respect it is better to nerf the NPCs if that is the issue rather than buff the player. In PvP its all about balance, so whichever action is more appropriate, buff or nerf, should be taken.

    Well he did have that rather fetching moustache thing going on...

    I dont think Churchill liked Stalin much but i'm not sure I'd want to be like him either.

    Is there any WWII era leader we can turn to in this situation? There must be a role model in there somewhere!

    Nothing jumps into my head tbh. But I suspect it was a product of the times. I mean, would you care if your leader was a little unstable if he was winning? Hmm. Who sang "We'll meet again"? I like her.

    Please educate me, WWII is a little recent for me. I learn what I can from documentaries, but I'm a pre-history kind of guy. Anything much after the Roman "invasion" of 43 is after my time I'm afraid lol.

    Nerfs are for herding, not for voting for.

    Hitler, Stalin....

    the only way this could go more downhill is if you started talking about "Glee" or "Twilight" - then i would have to scream.

    Like someone else said, Churchill didn't like Stalin, he was officially against him in the time after WW I .
    What about Roosevelt, do you think he was Stalins friend? ;)

    I'd said let the history be history, but don't forget about it :o

    The Polish Prime Minister in exile. He was a general during the Russo-Polish War and helped secure Poland's borders after independence. After the initial wars had settled down, Sikorski became Prime Minister of Poland. During the Sanacja regime Sikorski was well known as an opponent of the near dictatorial powers of the regime and was a staunch supporter of the Sejm.

    During this period he was regarded as one of the foremost theorists on modern warfare, published several studies and books regarding mobile warfare. Ironically, many of Sikorski's works would be adapted by the Germans and used in their 1939 invasion of Poland. Together with de Gaulle in France, Liddell-Hart and Fuller in England, and Tukhachevsky in the Soviet Union, Sikorski is regarded in military circles as one of the fathers of Blitzkrieg style warfare.

    After the fall of Poland, Sikorski fled with his soldiers into Romania and then to Paris. He was chosen as the Prime Minister of the Polish Government in Exile as well as commander in chief of the Free Polish Army. His main goal was to win the war and re-establish a free and democratic Poland. Unfortunately for Poland, he was killed in a plane crash in 1943 that some have attributed to possible sabotage by the Soviets.

    I feel Sikorski would be a good role model from among WW2 leaders as throughout his life he extolled democracy and freedom and opposed oppression.

    +10 cool points to Ravenstein for smacking me in the face with history, and actually making it slightly intriguing.

    Nah, but really, if I wasn't so dead set on Psychology, I'd major in History.
