Please Retain Complexity in Viper.

[SkylerBinn]

Replying just to bump this up. I hate MMO forums with a passion and usually never post on them, however I saw the post that was made about viper changes in 7.05 and I felt compelled to.

Viper is by far the most fun melee class in this game, and the 'busyness' they want to remove is the reason why (for me). I have no idea who could possibly be asking for the class to be made easier. To top it all off, I haven't seen or heard any actual viper players complain about the class being too 'busy'.

It really bugs me to see these types of changes being proposed so early after the devs came out and said the game was too easy and they wanted to make it more challenging. For me and probably several other players, the idea that they'd be making the game more engaging by increasing the difficulty was the main selling point of the expansion this time around. To see things being made easier because of people complaining is a complete slap in the face to anyone who was excited about the upcoming difficulty increase.

If their goal was to make the game more difficult, I fail to see how a change like this aligns with that vision. Especially changes that were proposed so quickly without letting the meta settle and letting people truly learn the ins and outs of the class. I'm tired of MMO devs ruining things that they've done a fantastic job with because they decided they should cater to players that have to play with a helmet on instead of the people who actually enjoy what they made. It almost feels as if the devs weren't confident in their implementation of viper to begin with if they're willing to budge on it that quickly. I understand changing a job for balance reasons, but this is very clearly not that scenario. This is a scenario where you've given players who prefer a higher APM, higher maintenance class a place in the game (arguably for the first time), and now you want to take that from them, in the same breath that you say the game is "like a 2d platformer where you cannot fall to your death". Please do not remove the one thing that distinguishes this class from the rest.
