While that may be true, I'm pretty sure that if we haven't done anything, we wouldn't have lasted a year. Not every change we do is right, but as the saying goes, only those don’t make mistakes who do nothing.
While I agree with you its important to understand when you have made a change which is wrong. The balance change is a good example of the undefendable. You guys try hard and largely do a good job but I've never seen a patch reverted and rethought until it has gone catastrophically wrong like gamma did. The terrible part of that would be how you have watered down all the progress gamma created.
Also gamma did not forward the progress of the game. It is, and will continue to be, a huge hindrance.
It was a game mechanic that should of been brought in much later. Sinking so many resources into a failed mechanic, with so little return.
Personally, whoever made that call, the call to get gamma up and running so fast, should be fired for such a terrible business decision.
This is your walking in stations moment, but keep yourself in denial.
I am Perpetuum.
