So the quote from Plarium on why changes were needed was due to complaints - we can see based on the changes that was not a true statement. No one should have been complaining that Brimstone and Phantom were overpowered as neither should have much impact on PvP. I hate seeing a company lie - my God
I have been around this game since the start, Plarium often uses 'complaints' as a way to justify changes. It's not transparent at all, but they don't need to change because they still make a ton of money.
