ACK! Sent the draft insted of the final. Sorry, here is the correct
version.

[slinks away]

The petition should ask Verant to adopt an Open Disclosure

Policy which commits them to reveal ANY changes made to a

class which affects gameplay in the next patch message.

As we all know, Verant likes to "stealth nerf" classes and

Bards have probably been the biggest victim. Its basically

a form of cowardice in that they dont want to take the heat

for their actions. However, as paying customers I think it

is reasonable for us to have the right to know what is being

done to the characters we are paying to play and have invested

so much time into. Although other classes would benefit

from such an official disclosure policy, Bards have been the

hardest hit by this and as such it should be valid to include

it in a Bard petition.

On a side note, Brad and Smedley are always noting how much

thought and debate go into every change to a class. They claim

to agonize over every issue and debate it among the developers.

Therefore, it should not be very difficult for them to list these

changes since they should be well aware of them after so much

discussion.
