So, now begins the Apex nerf road.
I had just become interested in playing again this morning. I guess that wasn't meant to last. See ya guys in a couple of weeks. |

There is a concept called power creep. It's based around the idea that you leave existing game objects untouched and you gracefully and gradually add in more powerful objects. This creates a sense of stability in the player base, object performance reliability, and a sense of confidence on an individual level.
This constant rebalancing of the game is abrupt, hurts players' sense of continuity, and usually only succeeds in producing a different OP thing or FOTM.
Make something, leave it that way. If you need something more powerful, make that. This will give the players a sense of A GROWING GAME with CONTENT DEVELOPMENT.
Your current scheme of rebalancing every month just makes us think that you, CCP, don't know what you're doing, and that we are the biggest group of play testers that ever got suckered into being promised a viable game one day. |

Power creep is the unbalancing of a game from adding new content.
CCP is fixing the APEX dropsuits so they don't allow players to wield suits of above average power at a below average pricetag. That's a fair goal. They aren't taking away our ability to customize the APEX dropsuits, you must realize that much.
Would you rather deal with not knowing what your gear is going to do next month, or having reliable performance, until original gear gradually fades into the background as NEW COOLER CONTENT becomes available bro?
Power creep is all about getting people to buy the latest greatest thing because it is slightly better. It's how you keep proceeds coming in. |

Overstatement. I would rather see some new content and life.
I am a good player, and I get so tired of not knowing how my gear or fittings are going to function a month from now.
I am exhausted from the rebalances and changes to game mechanics.
That is what play testing is for. I am tired of being a play tester.
I WANT TO BE AN END USER.
