We've seen this over the years in this game forum and others when some changes occur that cause some outrage. There's always that "elite" group of pundits that tell the player base to suck it up, to "deal with it" to "adapt."

With the changes that came in 4.0, the usual "adapt or perish" crowd sobbed endlessly on the forums and got what they wanted. Is the nerf catastrophic? We'll see after Patch Month ends sometime today, but it's funny that instead of "adapting" and "dealing" with game changes, whiteknuckled baby fits that were pandered to by people whose lives revolve around the game cried over and over again to get what they wanted.

So now we know "adapt and perish" is an obsolete talking point for this game.
