Balance: Gone / Gear Grind: Wasted / Game: Ruined

Very true. I liked the idea of mods, I mean finally a ftp way to really improve characters and also add diversity. But the stats are way out of line as you have mentioned. Totally defeats all the money spent on gear, and that's what really bothers me. Mods need to be toned down and made 1/4th what they currently are. Just blows my mind that they don't test these things, does no one at EA/CG play this game?!
