well the real problem is that when things are nerfed they overdo it evry time and then people are forced to change classes if they want to be a effective figther the only class that never have been nerfed really is 2 handers evrybody else gets nerfed sometimes, and its really not healthy for the the player base in the sense that not all people will quit the game but will play less often and thats why it seems like crpg is dying.
i know that i take atleast 1 month break evry time they nerf my class and no the last few classes wasnt archer, so now ive caved in and become like the main part of the players a 2hander, and settled with a alt to play when i miss my old class and yes that was a archer.
My point is just that if i look back have they nerfed polearms what 1 time? shielders a few times now cav several times archers about 10 times now and yes ranged can be annoying i get that but really that much? i say pikemen that can 1 shot my main with 62 bodyarmor and 6 if from the safety of a meatshield of teammates is way more op and retarded way of playing than being a archer also awlpikes thrust speed? it aint what the weapon says its looks to me to be something like around 140 speed weapon more than its listed speed, there are so many other things that are way more important to get nerfed than ranged now and that is what making people rage quit the game its the archers that are leaving and even you you guys love to pick on archers you will miss them if they are gone if for nothing else than chasing them and killing them right?
