What should game developers really do about nerfing classes? **

Why the crap do people want to nerf each others classes?  I do notice that PVP really effects other job classes ...and when that happenes it farks with PVE?  Im sure there are other reason why the nerf a class. What should Developers really do about this issue?

    Ive always taken the view that nerfing is in many ways actually removing something from the game.

    When you consider that no other product (I can think of) is treated this way in the market, its a weird thing for game developers to even consider doing it.

    I mean if you bought a car and then a month later the dealer showed up on your doorstep wanting to take back your sports alloy wheels and replace them with stock ones, you wouldnt stand for it.

    I cant understand why developers dont add to other classes to balance things, instead of nerfing one or two.

    I also dont get why balance seems to be the first conclusion everyone leaps to. In most MMO's there is always one stand out class, however even that class can be beaten in both PvP and PvE under the right circumstances. Its just a shame most people are quicker to race to a forum and yell NERF THEM, rather than working out tactics and strategies to beat them.

    but mythic is responsible in it in just nerfing certain, skills, aspects, and abilities of classes.

    because god knows they have had at some point some hugely overpowered classes....

    as long as they dont change the way the class plays forever and just adjust it for fairness its fine IMO

    If you lose to someone in PvP it's because that class is too powerful and it's your duty to go to the forums and type in all caps WTFBBQ OMFG!!!!!111 NERF !!!!!!

    When enough people start to make that excuse the devs fold to pressure and nerf the class.

    If a tweek is needed it should be done with a scalpel not a sledge hammer, like they always seem to do.

    i like how razorback put it ... but on the devs side they would be addind and adding and adding to other classes.. you kinda have to think of it as life.. not everyhing is gonna be fair.. you just have to adjust
