Wynncraft's Balancing is a Mess
That is a common sentiment a lot of people have been saying in the endgame community of wynncraft say. But why is that? What causes people to dislike the game’s approach to it’s balancing so much?
Recently a lot of patches have been nerfing mythics, builds and overall wynncraft endgame community has gotten really annoyed over that.
Well let’s discuss that briefly in this video.
DISCLAIMER
I wanna start off by saying that please do not use this video to harass anyone and I do not condone or hold any ill will towards the item makers or the ability team. I just want this game to improve, especially since I have spent so much time and effort playing this game and working around the balance of it.
Everything I say here is from a player’s perspective of looking at things.
I have also added time stamps so you can skip directly to a part of the video you are more interested in, this video is a way for me to start a discussion about the current state of the game without getting into an argument with team members who do not like their balance changes being questioned. And hopefully also for someone who has ability to make change in the wynncraft team to see this.

FINAL NOTES
This is a feedback video, if you do not agree with some takes here, that is fine. Everyone in wynncraft has had their own experiences playing the game, and no one’s experience or opinion is the same. There is no right or wrong, just issues, solutions and opinions. So let’s keep the discussion healthy and constructive in not only the comment sections but also the forums and the discord because remember, that despite everything I said about the team not handling communication well, we as a community also have to do our part in making the interactions better and improve overall, because making wynncraft a better place is not the sole responsibility of it’s devs but also the players who play it!
Lastly I wanna thank everyone who helped me with this video, I will leave credits in description, and lastly, please remember to like and subscribe to help this silly goober get media rank and give motivation to make content :)
thank you for watching, and have a wonderful day!
