This image, while I agree with the general message, is wrong on so many fucking levels about Wakfu.

1. Ankama only listens to the French. I sincerely doubt the poster being bitched about here is from the French forums. Source: I was part of the "Herald" program where we got early looks at class changes and gave feedback on balance and other issues. We were completely ignored from day 1. I signed a fucking NDA for this shit.
2. PvP was always an unbalanced shitfest where most classes were completely useless. Long Ranged classes have always had insane escape potential and Close and Mid Range classes didn't have the tools to counter or the resources to push through 2+ turns of sustained fire.
3. Citizenship Points were so stupidly easy to farm players would aggro with impunity over any little thing, even if they were on your "side". Killing friendly players was a slap on the wrist at worst.
4. This game was so stupidly easy to multibox. Being a tactical RPG, having one brain controlling 6 characters is better than having to deal with 5 other idiots fucking up the simplest plans. If you don't multibox you are locked out of competitive gameplay. PvP, PvE, all of it.
Those last two points combined essentially made multiboxers gods. They were like a faction unto themselves, killing other players with impunity and running rampant over everything which was cancer for the PvP scene. Removing one was like a raid encounter, and they'd just come back in 5 mins once De Darm wore off.

The gutting of PvP was definitely a contributing factor and I missed it when it was gone but Ankama's failure to come remotely close to balancing their game coupled with their heavy-handed approach to destroying any and all player strategies to solve encounters in ways that weren't just outstatting them had a far greater impact.
Don't forget the loot system. Good lord what a shitshow. And dungeon keys. Lack of any disconnection leeway, etc etc.
God I hate the french so much it's unreal.
