I'm taking a break, for sure. And for the record, while the constant brawler-nerfing (and how unhappy it makes our captains) is a factor, just as big a factor is the tone of this thread. For the millionth time, when the Wolves were winning, it was actually because of how much we played together (hours a day), how well we understood each other, and how much fun we were having as people who enjoyed one another's company. Implying otherwise (or stating it directly, if you're a real charmer) is really a pretty nasty conversational gambit and demeans the effort we put into the game for the joy of it.
I've loved this game since beta. I am not a "hardcore" gamer by any stretch of the imagination. I usually favor MMOs, big sprawly things like Civilization, or odd little puzzle/strategy games. I like to tinker and explore.
What kept me coming back here was the people. And many of you are obviously as funny/laid-back/witty/cool as you ever were. I wish you joy. But my clan and I have been called cheaters, exploiters, uncreative meta-build "run straight at 'em" types and other thinly-veiled euphemisms for meatheads about as much as I can stomach for right now. I'm a real person and these are my real friends. This is becoming a really unpleasant way to spend my leisure time. The tone is headed downwards, and not just in the forums. At the very least I need a break from it.
