You may be right but there is no more or less evidence to support this POV.
It's interesting in that you seem to have taken a different context out of Tasebro's post than I did. I interpreted
the root of Tasebro's dissatisfaction to acquiring shop content to facilitate the construction of a 'speed' build
(I'm assuming Tempest I + fighter speed boosts or similar here). The feeling is that these purchases (with real $$)
have been invalidated by these planned changes. I sympathise with this POV somewhat as, like I said, I just
finished a Monster build. To build an effective 'Monster classic', as a premium player, you'd need:
WF
Monk
32 point builds
+2 Dex for GTWF (assuming a starting Dex of 15)
That's a big outlay in real $$. Now, I'm not saying that this is a completely valid POV - you still have those
purchased items and they still have the same utility as they did when purchased. However, I think it's right
to expect some anger from players who purchased these items for a specific purpose which they now feel is
invalid.
