Balancing an MMO: The Impossible Dream (rerun)

Praises or critics can be send here! Also if there's anything you wish to hear about please send your requests here!

• Tips for making gold in Classic and retail WoW
• Why perfect balance would eliminate class diversity and identity
• The difference between static meta and retail's evolving balance
• How certain compositions like Warlock/Druid dominate different versions of WoW
• Why class strengths and weaknesses create engaging gameplay
• Understanding the mathematical impossibility of perfect class balance
• Celebrating imbalance as a feature rather than a flaw in MMO design
