well why make it a huge jump in the first place? why not make its lets say 200+ in the stat difference or 500 or something reasonable and scale it up slowly i for one don't wanna feel weaker even though im not (derp) its ridiculous really. i for one am against both i dont want this game to feel like an arcade game off the internet where i can run around and hit 5 billion dmg and lol at the numbers but i also dont want to go back as far as player progression which anyway you look at it you still are going backwards because everything is getting nerfed to be at our item level. blizz just made a giant error with wotlk to cata numbers and now the way of trying to fix it is just dumb. i don't like the idea of seeing my tanks health pool go back to tbc and wotlk days. it just feels like well get to a certain point then wash, rinse and repeat the cycle because the number will get too high and the slight upgrade of stats wont feel as epic. i for one think that an upgrade of 50-100 in any stat is enough when going from a 353->359 ivl (exagerating but read between the lines) is more than enough. when you level up and get the greens and blues from quests yes you want them to feel like an upgrade but they will be gone once you hit the new zone there again is no reason to make the stat jumps from green to green massive like they are now. make the boosts where it counts (the raids pvp and heroics). i understand that at some point the numbers blizz proposed during that massive jump they spoke of are a high possibility of happening if we just creep our way up towards it but by then well be level 100+ and it might just feel right to be hitting 400ks regularly but the only issue i see with that is for a new comer to the game the difference from 1-100 might be strange for them since they will not be used to it where as the people who have been playing for some time will understand the jump in damage. for this they could try boosting the numbers up for the lowbies as well? at some points i agree with the squishing. its just toning things down so the numbers aren't ridiculous and i have more HP than 25HM LK and i can go back and solo him in a few minutes and farm legendarys on 5 alts. but do we as a community want to take steps backwards and do it all again like its a daily quest? i for one dont want to see that happen to WoW.
