After a couple days and the post-update fix (i.e. challenges and some other stuff) I'm getting used to it. Was frustrated at first but yes it did come to my mind that the game was getting "maxed-out" pretty quickly and it had to get slowed down...hence the mass-nerf that disappointed a lot of folks myself included. But I do think some toons need upgrading, like FOTFP that got low health, dies quickly and doesn't do the same damage as pre-update it seems (or maybe I'm mistaken). GW is still doable but harder since protection doesn't come back. But since protection is there and you buffed back the damage in the fix, if protection regenerates I feel it would get too easy. Maybe I'll get hate for saying this but to me it's not such a big change; gone back to business as usual. FYI level 73 and couple 7 stars, average ftp daily player.
p.s.: I do understand the most rage comes from PTP people and I realize their situation could be very different from mine so in no way do I think the changes affect everyone in the same way; I respect everyone's opinion, ftp or ptp players etc.
