interesting this lost it's sticky - never thought it should have been in the first place, but interesting none the less.
TBH "class balancing" is under way. It's clear the changes are skin deep, and actual game mechanics are to be left basically unaltered. It's the path of least resistance from a developer's stand point I suspect, so I'm not overly surprised. Too bad though, anyone who cares/cared about this game and took the time to understand what is/was great about it and where it should/could improve knows changes are necessary much deeper in the coding.
Cheers and thanks for reading/supporthing this thread so long.
