    This results in more people fighting with this gear (which means a lot of con, prot, critigation and tenacity), making it maybe faster for new 80s to get it, but not easier or more fun. The right way would have been to lower the progression in pvp a lot. What they can do now though, is to work on fun ways to pvp (like a consequence system in open pvp, a reward change to avoid people picking only easy targets etc.) and add more steps gearwise like a tier0 and t0,5 set (or otherwise) to close the gap.
    Well they didn't just buff pvp armour. They also lowered the pvp level requirements for purchasing it. Of course you can argue that the pvp power creep is still there, and that's not a good thing. But in terms of the power progression curve you mention, that curve probably was linear or exponential, and now is logarithmic. Given the current state of the game (not many new players), that is probably the right thing to do if you don't have the resources to create a level playing field (unchained minis).

    I agree on this... Crafting revamp is way overdue and now you stopped commenting about it so usually it means bad.

    Oh the spiral of negativity each monthly letter !

    I am the only one who are showing some interest for the Anniversary event and quest ? I mean, come on : Pirates, assassins, Conan, Red hand Tortage, all the cool nostlagia stuff and spreaded among weeks ! The quality of the last Halloween event showed that they can provide really good seasonal quests, so i'm excited about this. People used to complain about wb, it's not wb, and now people don't even notice it. What a shame :/

    About Cetriss and further: Focus on Cetriss, guys. Letter is just giving infos on long-terms plans.

    Joel announce that they will continue to produce raid content after it, it's a good news meaning the game will still be supported content-wise after Cetriss. Some games in a better shape don't even have such projects, make your choices
    And it's still a good perspective even tho it is long-term one. As long as the devs will finish all the promised stuff they inherited from Craig's era, they will have free hands on the future projects.

    4.2 is already good enough for both pvpers and pvers. I expect Cetriss for q4 2014.

    **** yeah Tortage! MOAR TORTAGE!! Gimme ALL OF THE TORTAGES!!!

    That said, T4 gear has already screwed up all of pve content and ruined most of the challenge, what's T5 gonna do? Will everything become Atzel's Fortress now? Maybe they'll pull off a new item tier without screwing up everything further but I don't trust it.

    I'm seeing sentences saying there's planning on T5 without confirming that Cetriss will be T5. If I was prone to being paranoid, I could draw all sorts of conclusions from that.

    "new ways to play my favorite class"? What does that exactly mean? I know it's supposed to be a teaser but it's far too vague and cryptic to be anything other than annoying. Nobody likes teasers.

    But the single most important thing in the history of AoC is Tortage so this letter is the awesomest letter in the history of monthly letters. MAKE MOAR TORTAGE!!! I'd buy the **** out of a Tortage Expansion/DLC on day1. Get to it FC, it's your licence to print money.

    Ranger actually, when you use 100% of their tools, and without linebreaker, is not easy to a retard point.
    The melee khitai are really cool, don't know what anyone could complain about them, beside those who never use it ofc, but why care about people using half of a class tools.
    Hey, they could add some real combos with that, I would buy it for example.
