It's called 'stat inflation' and destroys a game's ability to challenge. Yes, being nerfed is annoying, but only those too blind to see the wider picture whine about it.

While you're right here, and I don't think everyone has my exact point of view on this - I feel as we shouldn't be asking "never nerf anything" and just, "don't get rid of the 1 working tank just because you think you fixed pld." I'm of the opinion that they should buff before thinking about nerfing. After balancing jobs for the most part, simply then make other changes to finish perfecting the balance.

Nerfing has it's place - I just don't feel it's place is here quite yet. I don't want to have PLD half working, and WAR nerfed to the point where it is half working as well. I don't think anyone wants that right now.
