So yea some likes it some dont. Even though majority didnt like it, on anet’s viewpoint newbies like it and they can milk more gems from those newbies than veterans
Saying that the majority did’nt like it is misleading. Yes, the majority on these forums, those actually posting (usually those that are upset) dont like it. But that is just a fraction of the playerbase. So what the real statistics are, we can’t really say.
That being said, i am not defending nor bashing the changes. I have to let them sink in before i really can deside wether it is good or not. If i always would act on my first feelings in life, i would be a very angry and miserable person.
