I respect the coders and spriters, I've made some very small contributions to those things myself. I've also spent hours of code diving trying to figure out how I would fix flamethrowers and how to make GUIs and stuff. It's not easy. If it was I would have submitted PRs already.
That said, let me maybe refine my larger point. The base game that gets played 99% of the time has gameplay that isn't affected by pod wars (admin-only game mode) or new sprites (not a gameplay element). On the other hand the slew of balance changes greatly influence every round in ways that stuff like Rancher and Arcfiend just can't.
So when I see month after month after month of nerfs *generally* and few buffs or additions of cool/weird tools *generally* it just makes me think that we've overdone it with the nerf bat. It's what is making the rounds less chaotic than they used to be. And that in turn prompts the question that inspired this thread.
