Archers are fine. Throwers are the new problem. It isn't a problem when considered by itself, but when you enter a server and realize that you, as a non-thrower, are in the minority, well, that's when it's a problem. Hell, one thrower single-handedly broke all the shields in a huscarl shieldwall advancing a siege tower.
I can't seem to attack anyone without seeing them pull out a throwing axe, jarid, or javelin and flinging it into my stupid face.
I'm fine with with throwing the way it is, if it required some sort of specialty. However, strength builds are the new trend (at least on NA servers- with good reason, I'm strength now, too) and throwers work well with this. Here's an awesome build for you: load up on power throw and power strike for a barmace wielding axe chucker of doom! Miss that melee guy who's running toward you? Pull your barmace out and crush through his block!
Whatever the real reasons are, there are too many throwers and something needs to be done.
