Think in another way, how about nerfing fighters instead!

Do you think it is mere coincidence that you can upgrade physical defence on armours, and that this is the primary method of damage output by fighters?

While reading the complaints of how fighters seem to dish out so much more damage, one must take into consideration that the developers and the collaborating companies intend that players spend as much money on cash-shop upgrades as possible. If you look at the magic defence of armours, they don't increase as fast as defence, nor can you artificially raise it - whereas with defence, you almost double it by enhancement.

It seems almost every able fighter throws a decent amount of money into Outspark's pot for the sake of taking up the role of the tank (those who don't are deemed bad tanks by their parties), whereas comparatively fewer players of the other classes invest as extensively (one can also conject that players just tend to be willing to spend more on their fighters due to the demand in their performance as their heartfelt responsibility to their parties). Remind yourself of the anomalies of the class unfairness - those archers and mages with huge HP reserves running around with a mini-sun-on-a-stick solo. Don't they all brandish heavy fortifications from CS items and T4 scrolls?

Now if we suppose that the classes are balanced on the free-play end of the scale, then where is the gameplay enjoyment gradient to entice players into CS-play?
