Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house
Just one creature was stirring, and clicking the mouse.
The first aid kits were hung from the backpacks with care,
Almost to 60! Just need one more square!
The grinders kept grinding, ignoring their beds,
While visions of paladins danced in their heads.
And Mamma in her fine dress and I in my plate armor
Had just settled down after a big banking dramma.

When up on the message boards came such a chatter
I flew to the site to see what was the matter.
Away into Windows I stole with a flash,
To read the new nerf, cost of 15 bucks cash.

The whiners already had cursed their new gun,
‘It’s nerfed beyond reason! This game is no fun!’
When what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But old Saint Blizzard full of nerf cheer.

The Blizzard staff had their nerf bats at ready,
But the servers as always were not quite so steady.
More rapid than eagles the nerf lists they came,
And there was the update, and each nerf by name.

No first aid! No levels! No stealth or Armors!
No clothing! No pets and no lewt for lewt farmers!
By the end of the list, by the end of the post,
It was hard to tell who had been nerfed quite the most.

I quickly logged on and loaded my hunter,
But his items were gone and his stats were in danger.
My backpack was empty, my leathers were gone too,
Everything had been nerfed from my helm to my shoe!

I clicked on a link and I wrote out a ticket,
In seconds the staff made it clear I could stick it.
I reported a bug: “This nerf must be a goof”
And suddenly Blizzard popped in with a POOF!

“We’ve nerfed the whole game to eliminate cheaters,
(Then he paused and ran back when he warped 50 meters)
We nerfed every Human and every Undead,
We nerfed every stat and made customers sorry.”

“We made the Infernals less harmful than smurfs
and then we took care to nerf previous nerfs!
We nerfed all the horde out In the Undercity and all Alliance in Stormwind City ,
We nerfed all the mounts and now they just bounce."

Your once mighty hunters? Now barely can sting.
We nerfed every item! We nerfed everything!”
And as that old dev disappeared out of sight
He cried “15 bucks from all, and to all a nerf night!”


I thought it was neat! :D

Wasn't meant as an insult. I clicked the last page, read the post, and thought it was worth bumping. Pretty nice little poem there.
