Ryzom

I am level 170 in healing, and, while I am annoyed that they took what was already the hardest role in a hunting group, and made it twice as difficult, I am able to manage.

Neither of the above matters.

I do not find it enjoyable to be dropped back to level 85 after a lot of work, and I wonder how long I will continue to pay for a game I do not enjoy.

I am not alone in this. I can not log in for more than an hour without recieving tells or encountering people who tell me, unsolicited, that they are leaving Ryzom. I tell them I am sticking around for a little longer, things may change, would they consider doing the same? So far, only one has decided to stay for "a little while", the rest have stated that they want no part of PvP, they are sick of changes, like to healing, that will be applied to Ryzom because of PvP. They are sick of paying for a game that, because of a loud-mouthed minority of players, is being made worthless to the majority. Even without setting foot in the non-consentual PvP zones, PvPer's are already forcing their game on the rest of us.

The above are not the only ones quitting. The future Healers of Atys are leaving because they are in a group and unable to heal for even half the damage the mob their teamates are fighting is doing. The future Fighters and Mages of Atys are leaving because their Healers cannot keep them alive long enough to win more than 1-2 fights out of three, and, contrary to what some fanbois have said, DP is not fun for most people.

If this thread were a moderated by a referee in a debate setting, it would long since be over, point: Remove the nerf. Every real argument for the nerf has been, repeatedly, shot down.

However, we are not refereed. While my comments are directed at the moderaters (and through them, the developers) and not at any players who have taken the time to post on these forums, it is worrisome that they may be swayed by the ill thought out arguments for the nerf.

Therefore, please consider this; I believe my side has won the argument, nerf supporters likely believe they have won the argument. If, however, they have won the argument, we all lose. There simply won't be enough people left playing to support the servers. None of the other points, ours or yours matter. It doesn't matter whether or not heals were previously over-powered. It doesn't matter whether or not healing is still possible, or how many extra healers are needed per team.

All that matters is that players are leaving because of the nerf. If Neverax is foolish enough to listen to the pro-nerf lobby, you will win the argument, but lose the game.
