I've bought heroine, the 100 pack dooku and several crystal packs and just want to put it like this if I bought 10000 crystals and spent none for 2 weeks only to log onto the game and find out I suddenly had 9000 crystals because crystal rebalancing was needed I would be a little upset
Outside of the ragers and screamers I'm sure that's how most of us feel, will that stop me from buying the next bundle.. No I love this game
Will a ewok shard as an act of good faith make me feel better about it yea becauae more than anything it shows ea understands and that's what it's all about for us folks who happily spend money on games we enjoy.
currency is an entirely different issue, as it can be devalued better by increasing the cost of items, rather than taking taking away from the current stockpile. Regardless, I get what you mean, and from a consumer perspective, I agree with the grievance.
The Veteran gamer side of me thinks otherwise though. Because myself and others understand nerfing and buffing is part of every game, especially multiplayer games. So the nerf on this character could be seen coming from a mile away. However, that didn't stop people from spending on a clearly OP character, because all they wanted was a clear cut advantage, with no drawbacks.
Even in console games, where most everyone is on an equal "paid" playing field, weapons and items get nerfed and buffed to keep proper balance of generally fair gameplay. None of the games that I've previously purchased on console and computer are in the same state as when I first bought them, and I have no grounds to complain, because most of the changes are statistically necessary for balance. Singe of the changes effected me, and others didn't. However, as humans, when we are receiving the advantage, we rarely want to step back and say "yeah, this thing I bought is to powerful, and I will protest it purely on principle". We instead create justifications to keep ourselves on top, in hopes that our advantage is not removed or noticed. It happens in many aspects of life.
I respect those that contribute and understand the purpose of game balance. I laugh at those who pay to win, then throw a fit when their advantage is naturally balanced out.
