It was sarcasm. I've said no less than 3 times in this very thread that job balance or customization or whatever other single thing doesn't sink games by themselves. I played ffxi for 9 frigging years and it was one of the worst offenders of balance issues.

Just because the ac breaks in a car doesn't mean the car is crap, and I may not sell it just because the ac is broke. But that doesn't make it ok to stop putting ac in cars.

These customization systems under discussion have a history of failing. They don't singlehandedly sink games. But that doesn't make them a good idea. They are still a detractors to gamer experience because of the balance and other side effects that have been PROVEN to come woth these systems.

There's is a solid track record of negative effects of these systems. Plugging ears singing lala want make these same systems somehow not have negative effects if implemented here. Nothing suggested hasn't been tried (and flopped) in the past so why should the doubters (who have years of failed attempts bcking up their opinions) yield to the proponents who have provided no examples or reasons why this time would be different other than their say so? There is no evidence to support you ideas, yet mountains to support the doubters of these systems. We've been burned before. Why should we put our hand back on the stove? Because you say so? No thanks.
