Why are people so afraid to call a nerf a nerf?
Nerf (v) to make a video game dynamic less powerful.
Whats the big deal? Lets honor the memory of George Carlin and not wet ourselves trying to pretend something is different because we give it a more comfortable name. They are nerfing content for the last month before the expansion while everyone gets used to new dynamics. Its not rebalancing. Its not fine tuning. Those euphemisms imply someone actually worked out the details of the dynamic to make sure that it WAS actually still balanced. When you lop off a flat % of HPs from every boss, you aren't accounting for detail. You're making them much much easier so there is no chance that any encounter will be harder whatsoever.
Why are people so uncomfortable with the truth?
