Dev proposes system revamp A, a fully involved and detailed system redefining how the game works and balances with a forward-looking vision.

Dev begins testing system revamp A

Dev proposes system revamp B, a set of quick-fixes, caps, and bandaids.

Much debate ensues.

Dev chooses option B.

Bleh

A lot of the new content really skewed combat in a bad way, so they (by popular demand (Read: incessant whining)) decided to do a revamp.

They originally were working on a Diminishing Returns system that was working REALLY well in public testing and abandoned it for "Proficiencies" which are basically a two-tiered set of caps (If you have Mod X and no Prof in it, you have Cap A, if you have the Prof, you can get Mod X all the way to Cap B. Anything above that even if you can have it is USELESS)

They've actually been listening and improving the game overall based on player feedback and concerns.

They don't have the "fuck you, we like it that way" attitude seen on the WoW boards.

This move annoys me though. They were on the right road, now they took a hard left turn and hit a tree.
