Well, the current whine du jour seems to have moved off somewhat from VQs and clam hoarding to "castle spamming."

Whether or not any of these activities may be broken, why does it seem that the first reaction of people unhappy with these is to propose nerfs, rather than strategies to deal with the tactics in question?

Or has everyone proposing nerfs done extensive testing of the various strategies and proven that they can't be beaten?

Or are some players just wishing that the game was designed differently--to suit the fact that they don't like playing against a given strategy?
