Yes, I will cling on every little piece of wood work there is - because I have an obligation to ensure that all the professional complainers who wanted this change so badly can go and scream one more time in front of a mirror. You carefully ignore the facts, and you airbrushed so many arguements that people raised that Im just surprised why you even bother replying. No one has ever said that the attacking side shouldnt have a chance, but it has been said and done ( BY YOU ) against the defending side.
Not only you ask people to srp 2/3/4 in a 4 months period - you also let them know in advance, that even if they manage to bring it to core 4 - any dedicated bunch of hessies/corsairs/council/rogues can simply take it out in less than two hours, Add to that, most people live half way around the world.
Tell me exactly how these facts fit the "balance" you once said, It doesn't - so stop defending it and get real.
