Add a nerf/buff voting system to each class?
Lets not turn balance into even more of a popularity contest than it already is.

Pretty sure we have a greater chance of fixing stuff ourselves than having a few people doing what they thinkis right then having stuff broken/op/uselss for months/years. That’s not worked so far.
The problem with systems like you suggest is this:
<insert my main class> needs buffs. <insert skill/trait/utility> needs major work.<insert other class> needs nerfs. <insert skill/trait/utility> needs to be reduced for X reason.
The thing is that most of us think of ourselves as unbiased and fair, but when it all comes down to it we only want what is best for <insert our main class>.
Look at the necro for example, we didn’t have a developer for quite the long time, and was such we were put on the back burner. Many of our core mechanics were ignored (down state) since launch and until recently we had no real voice. Even if we had used a system such as you suggest we would not have had a developer on our side to make the changes and all other classes would prefer we not get any buffs due to the free kills we were.
If you could remove the very human biases then the system may work (along with devs willing to make the changes), but unfortunately I don’t believe that can ever happen. The best IMO, and current way of doing things seems to be working with one dev working on a few classes, without any of the outside static Time will tell, but I am willing to see it though; I know my necro is quite the bit happier lately.

Balance split, CDI, force balance team to get gud at the game they are trying to balance.
Okay maybe the idea of a simple voting thig is stupid(do to abusers like you mentioned,) but perhaps implementing further subcatagories for the traitline/weapons to allow more specific scrutiny of the traits/skills/weapons?
