I feel like every time someone loses a match in arena or doesn't do what they wanted to do in a raid or GW or whatever they call for a nerf. I for one think its ridiculous. This game would be boring if I could easily beat everyone and everything in the game. The most fun I have is in GW or when I lose to someone in arena and then go back and try to beat them the next time. This game is all about learning from your mistakes, don't attack so and so first. Use Boba's ability block wisely, etc. Instead of crying nerf look at your team and see what you can do to beat that team. If you keep trying and can't it's not that they are OP. You just aren't as good as them and need to get better mods, gear, stars, toons, etc.

They need to give CUP a ship for spaceship battles.And then it will need nurfed after it kills me.

How dare you come in here with a logical post!! Mods please nerf the above post as it is too OP and makes too much sense!

The reason people complain so much on this forum is because the game is just so unbalanced, which comes with the p2w formula. I've been in countless gaming comminutes, never seen so many nerf threads.

World of Warcraft forums were reeking with nerf threads every day for years, and long before P2W elements started to creep into that game. It was always buff this nerf that either because somebody got killed in PVP or somebody was jealous that a guildmate was putting out better raid numbers.

Not at this level. It just comes with the territory of a p2w format.

As a former Glad and recent player, there are zero P2W elements in that game that can change the outcome vs skill and time sink grind. The nerf threads will always exist. Some of it is warranted. Some of it is not. Asking or wanting it to go away entirely is conformist mentality. No game can ever be perfect and it will always require tweaks and changes, especially rpg-based games with power creep.

I used to be a game and forum moderator for a game called outwar, which was one of the first freemium video games, if not THE first. I started playing it around ~2002.

You want to talk about some Nerf threads... That was half the forum, and 1/3 of the tickets..

Actually pretty much everyone competitive freemium gaming community I have been in has people constantly crying for Nerfs.

Now I've never been in a gaming community where there was no direct competition in the game that ever cried for nerfs.

It's hard to argue that high ranked WoW arena was a P2W game, and that wasn't what I had in mind.

I could go on a much longer rant but I'll try to keep it succint. During my time in WoW, I encountered a fair number of things that I would say easily qualified as P2W options although they weren't necessarily things that a gladiator would say were important or relevant (maybe because they didn't affect arena directly, or they were specific to people occupying some unconventional niches), and not necessarily things that the developer advertised.

A few examples:

Multi-boxers ganking with relative impunity.

"Expansion capped" accounts circumventing the deliberate segregation of twinx (wouldn't let me post the commonly accepted spelling there) from levelers in battlegrounds.

Paid server transfers & faction transfers as a remedy to poor "quality of life" that for the first several years was usually a major hindrance to people playing the minority faction on their servers. Buy a transfer, get access to a better auction house, raiding opportunities, finally win at broken overworld PVP games like Wintergrasp, etc. Originally touted as potentially (if properly restricted) a way to eliminate population imbalances, it was largely unrestricted and it simply exacerbated the already dire imbalances.
