Once again i appreciate your optimism.
But again we have conflicting statements, Andy says some of these changes are intentional because they don’t want bearers to be this tanky.
On the other hand they say some of the changes maybe didn’t work out as they should. And FC want to revert those bearer HP changes “for now”.
We didn’t get a pet rebalancing, for ALMOST TWO YEARS, same with the thrall pots and pet feeder boxes!
And they continue to nerf bearers… and only FunCrom knows what’s next.
Sorry i can’t share your optimism on this. I see the red flags!
As if the inventory UI changes or constant revamps of old mechanics, like attributes, stamina, dye bench, hyper armor … etc wasn’t bad enough.
Nevermind broken bazaar purchases which are broken, bugged or just aren’t there. 
Payed content that doesn’t work!… in a now so called “life-service-game”…
Sorry mate but i have very little trust in FunCrom and their abilities or even motivation.
To implement a proper balance would take a lot of time, FC would have to overhaul every single follower (the admin panel and @Xevyr ‘s spreadsheet gives us an idea how much work that would be)!
But they could do it step by step, nobody said FC has to do it all at once.
However, as i said developers tend to go the easiest route.
And DBNO seems like a band aid because it’s easier to implement a mechanic to revive followers, than rebalance all of them.
Could be wrong… but i doubt it. We all know this company at this point.
And what they do… their behavior contains a huge number of red flags, and i won’t change my mind on that until they prove me wrong.
