Why nerfing gnomes is not balance.

[Dpkronos]

I wonder how many knights are out there that were thinking, "Nerfing gnomes is no big deal, they probably deserve it or this guy wouldn't be whining."

Just remember it can happen to you too. Nerfing gnomes would be far less justifiable than what happened to knights but if it happens you won't hear about it because it affects a much smaller portion of the player base. "It's ok as long as it doesn't happen to me." That is what most of you are thinking.

Vote no on pointless nerfs, vote no on nerfing gnomes.

Thank you.

I exit with a video for you knights please enjoy:

Diterich Bonhoeffer said it better.

“First they came for the Communists, but I was not a Communist so I did not speak out. Then they came for the Socialists and the Trade Unionists, but I was neither, so I did not speak out. Then they came for the Jews, but I was not a Jew so I did not speak out. And when they came for me, there was no one left to speak out for me.”

I don't think that the nerf is really akin to the nazis commiting genocide, but what you said reminded me of it. And it is a good reminder to beware of this attitude for the issues that really matter.

That's a good quote, despite who really said or wrote it first, that I have not heard in awhile. It really does sum up what I was trying to say nicely. Thanks.
