Hate where the game's going? Don't buy RP. Play another game.

This. The balance team is either considerably incompetent or trolling the shit out of its community. Either way, not okay, and I don't see why anyone who's moderately upset about the game's balance (lol) would support this company.

If anything, I'll be on treeline. It's not a very aesthetically-pleasing, but in the few months I played it, it was a lot more enjoyable than most of my games on Rift. Give it a chance; it's a very different meta but you might enjoy it.
