Please stop blaming the players for Funcom’s’ decisions.
Players will complain when something is unbalanced. Hell, players will complain when they perceive something as unbalanced, regardless of whether it actually is unbalanced. And let’s face it, the healing water skin was unbalanced, especially in the context of the new healing system.
But it’s Funcom who decides what to do about it. Not players. Funcom.
They shouldn’t have introduced Lifeblood Spear or the healing water skin in the first place, not the way they were. And I agree they definitely shouldn’t have nerfed them into uselessness.
None of that means that players should stop giving feedback. Feedback is just data. The issue at hand is what Funcom does with feedback.
