Now with the cut of cool down time for Double Armor and Double Damage from 30s to 20s, the druggers are all over the places, If this is not a suicide move by Tanki, then what it is ?

How did you arrive at the claim that smoky's critical damage range is infinite ? I don't see anything from the articles on the update. And I doubt they will treat critical hit range differently from that of normal hit. Overall, from what I understand, smoky's DPM is reduced and mid-to-long range damage is also reduced.

So what you mean is that Tanki has 1 and only 1 rebalance ever in his whole history, referring any other equipment adjustments updates to "rebalance" is inaccurate/misleading, is that what you meant ? Anyway, wording is not the main point here, rather it's the motivation behind in asking people to refrain from using the word "rebalance". I smelled that someone wanted to downplay the impact of this rebalance. And that motivation seems to came from his own will, not from developers, or so. Comparing both community managers is not my focus, nevertheless, they fill the same position and perform the same function, so it make sense to compare them. Having said that, I don't like Seymon's style either.

What's your criteria for "THE rebalance" ? This rebalance is at least comparable to the last one, though not comparable to the grand one where refund was made. Last time, it nerfs some equipment and buff others, and so does this one. This time, Firebird is buffed a lot, viking is buffed a lot, heavy hulls nerfed a lot, and so on. If this isn't rebalance, then what is ? Why do you think I don't know both of them ? They both are/were community managers, I know them as community managers, isn't that enough, I criticize him based on his role as a community manager. Do I need to know them personally in order to do so ? I said he's misleading on his wording based on the reason I gave above, not just that I don't like it. So please get it straight, would you?

You're the one who are misleading people. There are many rebalance in the past, not just one. I dare you'd ask players here whether this is rebalance or just an "update". This rebalance is no less drastic than previous one. Stop playing with words, you have already low enough credibility among the community. If you;ve slightly desire to catch up to the popularity of Seymon, think again what will say in the future.

Tanki is dancing in a death spiral. The devs are getting more and more bias towards active players and buyers, hoping to encourage more engagement but that just drive less active players away. They're also trying to squeeze more money out of a smaller pool of players which in turn make the pool even smaller. The paint module update is an update trying to make buyers buy more protections. The recent garage update is also one that make players easier to buy weapons on accidental clicks. All contributes to bad feelings among players. If Tanki were to die, it'd be nohting but the devs. arrogance and greediness to blame with.
