I wonder if Anet holds a monthly competition to see which employee can come up with the most ridiculous/annoying nerfs. Probably $1 raise everytime you win! Though a $5 raise to the guy who said, "I have it! Lets make a small nerf on EW one just to make people laugh, but wait here's the kicker... a week later lets nerf it so hard and so ruthlessly, that we actually drive players away from their ranger characters!"

EW is now the bastard child of all ranger skills, hell even archer's signet or wth ever its called has better application in a trap build, though I can't think of what that application might be. I'm just sure that whatever it is its better than EW.

Wow... now that is INCREDIABLLY offtopic.

Anyway, on topic. Anybody remember Gorel's Staff or whatever it was that gave 20% recharge to all spells back when the cap used to be 10%. They nerfed it and then a few months later changed all staffs to 20%.

Indeed that was off topic O_o

This item was a tad to powerful to be left alone imo.

It was [wiki]The Rockmolder[/wiki], a focus item.

Exactly. -XX physical is worthless, to anyone else who reads this, I hope you know that by now.

I would be more concerened about what someone does with the information rather than how they acquired it.

The Herbalizer · Dec 01, 2007, 03:15 AM // 03:15

Very very suspicious that someone in ZOS which has devs in it put the item up for sale in high a few days prior to the nerf.

Very suspicious.

If I was Anet I would check the chat logs...

Of course they wont and it will go unchecked.

Standard Anet....

Jeremy Untouchable · Dec 01, 2007, 04:43 AM // 04:43

you guys are wrong. He was left holding the now worthless item. No warning prenerf. Trust me it wasnt insider information. Or anything like that. He put it up for sale, someone saw it. it was nerfed. end of story.

of course he would Never tell his guildies about how awesome it was being able to keep shadow form so easily.

I reported his sale thread for breach of forum rules before it was sold anyways. Rules ftw- break them and die.

Jeremy Untouchable · Dec 01, 2007, 04:54 AM // 04:54

we all knew about the icon. It Did infact make shadowform last longer....beside the point.

It never had a chance to sell................High end trades carry some risk i guess. this thread is pointless now anyway. Item doesn't even exist now.

Seraphic Divinity · Dec 01, 2007, 04:56 AM // 04:56

So are you saying its impossible that a dev suggested he sell the item?

because he seemed extremely anxious to sell by the title.

If you can't say yes, then you we retain our right to have our doubts.

LukeD · Dec 01, 2007, 04:58 AM // 04:58

lol

the devs dont go teling us everything dude, none of use knew we read it in the game updates that day and told him.

he wasnt happy

Did I say they told you everything?

No

So why are you lying in public forums?

Are you trying to hide something? Lying is Bad, and you're setting a disgusting example.

Skyros · Dec 01, 2007, 05:28 AM // 05:28

Seraphic Divinity,

1) Chillax
2) your post makes no sense whatsoever
3) you are setting a worst example

so if you all knew, and there are devs in the guild...knowing it made a skill last longer than it should...why wasn't anything done about it sooner? LoL.
Looks pretty suspect to me, no matter how you sugar coat it.

what do you mean by 'it never had a chance to sell'? it sure did. go look in high end. it had a few chances.

FireFox · Dec 01, 2007, 05:45 AM // 05:45

I'm guessing you have nothing better to do than sit here on guru and cry about an online item in an online game full of other online items which do not exist. If you think that ZoS was the only group of people aware of the item then you are sadly mistaken. It'd be pretty damn stupid for him to get some insider info on an item like that and then not actually sell it. GG, try looking at some of his previous sell threads maybe?

probably because all the items they have retroactively nerfed have been collectors/green items. They probably only need to change the data once and it will propgate throughout the system. It is probably not as easy a task with gold items which is most likely why unconditional weapons still remain in the game as well.
