Paladin too overpowered, nerf their damage output!

[TouchandFeel]

I'll never understand why MMO communities want classes brought down instead of the other classes brought up.

Misery loves company I guess.

Well, from a developer perspective as well as some players, it is due to the fact that jobs in a MMO are not only balanced against each other but also against the content.
If the solution to fixing balance issue between jobs is to always scale upwards with buffs it creates a situation of constant power creep which inevitably results in the jobs becoming out of balance with the content which is just as bad if not worse of a situation than the jobs being out of sync.
While I know that nobody wants to see their precious baby (the job they play) nerfed, it is unfortunately necessary sometimes to maintain the greater balance.

But I will agree that often times cries for nerfs are more based on people feeling upset and wanting to piss in other people's punch.

P.S. I'm not advocating for nerfs in this instance, just saying why they are necessary at times.
