I personally think we should do away with the mods and truly go back to how it was. This was challenging and awesome to battle others without any added modifications except gear. Just my opinion.
I haven't liked mods almost as soon as they came out, but they aren't going to get rid of them. So instead of complaining I will suggest a few things I hope get changed just a bit to "fix" the mods. Main thing I think would be a fair change is to lower the levels for the mod battles just a bit and to lower the cost to level the mods...it's very expensive...
