From Wikipedia:

Quote:Nerfs in various online games have spurred in-world protests. Since many items in virtual worlds are sold or traded among players, a nerf may have an outsized impact on the virtual economy. As players respond, the nerf may cause prices to fluctuate before settling down in a different equilibrium. This impact on the economy, along with the original impact of the nerf can cause large player resentment for even a small change. In particular, in the case of items or abilities which have been nerfed players can become upset over the perceived wasted efforts in their obtaining the now nerfed features. For games where avatars and items represent significant economic value, this may bring up legal issues over the lost value.


This must the a defining case. Maybe the ICMG should consider a lawsuit:)
