Nerf-a-thon

As MMO's went from Core gamer niche to mainstream casual we have seen the onset of the Nerf. A Nerf is when the developers make something easier, or more accessible to everyone. 

how do the developers decide what to Nerf you ask? Well quite simply the more whining about something there is on the games forums the more likely it is to get nerfed. The whining comes from the people who don't want to invest the time or skill needed to achieve a goal or to receive the glorious loot they see the Elite players carrying. 

This Nerfing has been evident in WOW as Warlocks got Nerfed because people didn't want to do the work needed to gain the skill to beat them. So they rage quit and go cry on the forums about how OP(over powered for you lay people) The Warlocks were. And the Warlocks got nerfed. Then it was the Rogues, Warriors, and then the Developers struggle to find balance between classes. 

Most recently we are seeing these Nerfs in Defiance. Now Defiance is a fun shooter/RPG MMo that requires a level of skill. You need to learn to use your loadouts, your cover, your roll, and such to achieve glory. There are enemies in the game, the Volge, that are just beasts, and unless you have a group, or are at a higher skill level they are best avoided. The same with Arkfalls, it takes teamwork, teamwork, teamwork to handle an Arkfall. You do not rock an Arkfall by yourself. 

There are people who have been in game since beta and are rocking the sick gear...They EARNED that gear, and now the noobs are coming in, and don't wanna do the work needed for glory. So what do they do? Run to the forums screaming for the Nerfs.

If a game is too hard for you and you are not willing to do the work to gain the skills, or your not willing to work with the other players to save the day go buy a WII-U and play mario cart. Dont go whining and crying, because all your doing is ruining the game for those of us that are doing the work.

This ends my Gorilla Rant on Nerfs, and lazy gamers.
