The only nerf thread I haven't seen is a "nerf cleaver" thread, I've seen a buff cleaver thread...
Anyway, the real issue with the game is that people learn. And unlike QWOP this game allows learning to really improve your skill and therefore make weapon OP and in need of nerfing.
So, my simple suggestion to stop this horrible, horrible trend of weapons, builds, things, all things, some things becoming OP is thus!;
Every 15-45min completely change all the stats of weapons and Armour using a RNG with values of 1 - 40,000.
The game will now play out as follows;
"You don your straw hat and linen tunic. Cudgel in had you rush to the fight! Men with shields and lances run around with out horses, confused and enraged as they realise for the next 30min the difficulty of their Rouncey is over 9000. Out of the corner of your eye you see a cross bowmen sights dead on you. You know your short round has come to an end when he fires, a moment later the bolt hits you and you hear the sweet thud of blissful safety. You check your armour rating, 40,000 body armour you rush into battle madly typing Highlander references.
A plated charger comes bolting towards you at what looks like warp speed, you barely have time to react, you click and your cudgel whips past your face so fast you can't see it. The horse men is blown from his horse, both rider and horse die instantly and a jet of blood shoots meters into the air. You check your stats, once more excited and over whelmed with epeen knowing for the next 30min you are an unkillable death machine.
You begin to troll when like a bolt of lighting an arrow cleaves your head asunder... The camera clips to your killer, he has a short bow... He seems to be firing arrows like a machine gun but with pin point accuracy :/ enraged you rush to the forums to right a nerf thread when the game reboots and all is well. horses fly, bows shoot fire, and rocks explode like abombs wiping the servers clean."
If you don't want this for yourself, at least want it for your children you poos.
