For anyone who isn't "in the know", what the developers are casually brushing off as a minor fix is in fact a major imbalancing change.
There is a reason why we were crying for a roll-back when we saw the metal fuck-up unfold. History just keeps repeating itself and some men are not learning animals.
With the super high metal symbel, I could effectively eat ten (10) 1,5% hunger pies before gaining one unit of satiety. After this nerf, such is no longer possible.
Must desirable fix then, isn't it?
Sure is... for factions that used the opportunity to stuff their characters during this time. There are now tons of palibashers with 500-600 STR and more. You will
never catch up to them.
The rationale for reinstituting the ore node quality bug was that "some people had already mined", yet when it comes to gaining unfair advantage in your character stats the same logic no longer applies for some reason. Have fun staying competitive if you didn't exploit the opportunity when it existed.
