buff through the roof, nerf to the ground.

Surely, there is something in between.

To attain the slightest hint of balance, one must cast aside binary thinking.

Binary balancing shows they're doing something.

"Look busy, the players are watching."

We are their paycheck, after all.

don't blame the devs. They are probably in over their heads creating a gazillion new microtransaction effects for every new patch.

Or, you could murk loar and understand why balance is swinging around so much and why we will probably see much wide sweeping balancing going on in the next several weeks.

Chris and other GGG peeps have noticed the issues and are responding to the problems.

This, for example, is one clue as to what's going on in the GGG office.

This is the most heartening post I have read from Chris in a while. This statement reinvigorates me more than the release of any new uniques or skills or MTXs. Looking forward to it, Chris!

Chris paying lip-service as usual.

Sometimes I want to be optimistic but judging by GGG's track record, they are both slow-to-move on things that matter, and incredibly stubborn.

No, but GGG can reallocate the resources they spend on designing MTX, and instead hire more people to fix their existing problems. Revelation, I know. Something else you can add to your TIL list.
