wait am i understanding this correctly? Increased armor is bad? Isn't higher armor a good thing since you receive less damage?

The issue most people have with this "update" (if it is intentional) is that it doesn't benefit all characters equally. Only those that have high armor numbers to begin with. The problem with this is twofold:

1) The game has functionally changed instantly for everyone. Characters that were not particularly good are now vital and characters that were good (some of which are p2p) are now fairly insignificant. This aspect is made worse by the fact that there was ZERO communication in this issue. Many found out (and lost arena ranks and battles) on the fly.

2) This also makes battles take much longer and GW significantly harder (there are people in my guild who have completed GW for months, who were stopped cold as early as node 9 or 10 with this change).

So no, it doesn't have to do with less damage (or wanting more damage or to see "big numbers") - it has to do with the instant and completely stealth manner in which the game was altered significantly.

Initially, I thought it was just characters that got Scoundrel tags that were given the silent increase in armor and not over the board board and re-reading what people have been saying about some characters having the armor raised and how it affects the game and what you bring up... yeah. I understand the complaints

Thanks for explaining!
