Changing balance during season made me quit.

Pity chap, the real world is a lot harsher and crueller and rarely gets better as a result of change, basically what's happened is the opposite to the aforementioned and you are leaving.......

I hope you gain some perspective soon :( sincerely!

It's not cheat, until it got nerfed. This is the way GGG say to you: You shouldn't be using this [skill/gem/whatever] this way. The way we expect it to be used will come in the next patch.

Sooner is better...no need to wait the end of the season. It's not like "We know you're wrong, using it the way we do not expect. But don't worry, we will let you use it until the end, because you spent some hours to exploit it." It's like "You're wrong. We're fixing it. Adapt your character."

I could say you should be adapting your character RIGHT NOW, instead of complaining and waiting for the patch.

Yes, you will come back...

You're telling someone to get some perspective by comparing a game to the real world?
What the hell are you on? It's a effin game, it's supposed to be fun and cathartic.
I can see why they are turning this into a second unpaid job if they had people like you giving critique during beta. Dear christ man, what were you thinking.

World of warcraft is released and they make patches in the middle of the expansion which might make you have to reforge all your gear, disenchant the expensive BoE items you bought because another stat got stronger.

A fix to the gem was obvious, making a build around it was just stupid.

Just take a few minutes and set your gems up correctly. It's a nerf, but if you were using the gem to provide you with some mitigation it will still work well. I plan on running two when I get them on my nemesis character. I already ran them on my standard.

If you were using it as your main damage source then I feel your pain... But thats really not what the gem was for. You had to know it was going to be changed.

You guys just don't get it, don't you? I AM NOT against balance changes, I AM against changes during season. Imagine football game in which during half time there is a rule change - "players shorter than 170 cm have to play blindfolded" because Lionel Messi is waaaay too OP. Idiotic? Not for GGG it seems.

So, what is your point? Blizzard is shit company for some time now, so not the best example. And making build around good skill (gem) was stupid why exactly?

Because everyone with half a brain realized that the gem was stupidly OP and would get nerfed asap.

Honestly if you cannot handle adapting or rerolling a new character this game is not for you. PoE is designed around making new characters. That is why you cannot just respec your character at anytime for free. It probably takes 5-7 days to get back to level 75 and some people do it even faster.

A) Mind your language fanboy.
B) It wasnt "stupidly OP" it was just very good.
C) What should be changed ASAP are bugs, especially desynch (but GGG doing nothing about it). Balance changes can easily wait untill end of season.

Honestly i dont want to spend 7 days on rerolling character, while it can be nerfed again after those 7 days. Thats my point from beginning.
