Why Buffs Are Pure Essence of Evil

2004/07/23

I never have liked buffs.

They're basically the crack cocaine of online games -- once you start getting them, you can't live without them.

Personally, I don't like paying for the same improvement more than once. So I choose not to use.

Why can't some developer be creative enough to come up with an attribute system in a multiplayer game that doesn't need buffs to be effective?
