Game balance, the Meta and the audience

Whenever someone comes in listing off grievances on behalf of an entire category of players, uses phrases like “lots of people” in making their point, or, god fordbid, says they are a dev so they know all about this, it’s a pretty safe bet they aren’t the voice of authority on the subject they think they are.

You are welcome to post your personal opinion, but give me a break with the “many people” rhetoric.

We are not beholden to any group of people in our community, we do not design by committee and we absolutely do not balance the game only around the top %.

The number of times I’ve told off the so called elite you are convinced we make this game for that something won’t be changed because it’s going to negatively impact the average player is astronomically higher than any changes we’ve consciously made that hurts the casual players you’re so concerned with. The game had only gotten easier over the past decade, which serves the casual player most.

Telling me we can’t balance the game properly cause someone might see an OP endgame build and want to hypothetically play it too someday is painfully naive.
