I should also like to point out to everyone: These DCI/HLD are bad changes yes. But keep in mind how many, including prominent PvPers, supported them in principle until actual numbers were released. To me this means there's not universal agreement that the system shouldn't be touched at all. That's an important distinction to make.
And further: Yes, these are bad changes, but when we exaggerate how bad they are, as many are doing, we contribute to an atmosphere wherein making fine distinctions is difficult, and that hurts us, and the game, long-term. Not every bad idea is equally bad. There's game-breaking ideas (the initial draft of the stamina and armor changes), and there's ideas that are bad, there's ideas that hurt specific templates or playstyles that may not be bad objectively, there's ideas that are not bad per se but are just too much, etc. This stuff is just a bad idea. Not catastrophic. Just bad.
There's categories, there's levels, there's distinctions. Let's not flip the **** out over everything. Let's not cry the sky is falling when it's merely raining hard. Let's say the sky is falling when the sky is falling, and when it's just raining hard say it's raining hard.
