Hullo! My reply was pretty much a compliment to the post above by VanIvan. It will be hard to create a balanced game if people don't remove the blame game or the finger pointing...
Now you may believe all reply in this forum (and this specific thread) where all done in civilized forms and are totally acceptable in a mature conversation then we probably won't ever be close friends! (Except over beer, pretzel and Football)
Which is completely fine, there needs to be different kind of people in the world to make a world.
i specifically stated the replies in this tread. if you find one to be of the flaming nature please point it to me i might have missed it. else i can just assume you are a person that cant handle criticism. and yes i suppose we cant be friends i never liked people that cant handle critics.
now i dont say criticism dont hurt but its part of the growing up process and handling it is a skill people should have.

I personally love the CoH serie, the new commander are a bit OP (mind you I haven't all the experience all of you dogs of war probly have) but I do love how you need to think on your counters. LOL has had the P2Win system for ages now (nerf bat is strong after 2 week after a release) and is still one of the most played games out there.
IMO --> DOW < COH < DOW2 < COH2
excusing the P2W model just because other companies are doing it does not make it right. relic and riot are both wrong in this case.
its like saying its ok to harass sexually because you know there are rapist in the streets and i'm not a rapist.
I don't think the game is broken but it needs some more polishing, all in all balance is and will always be hard to achieve.
the game is not broken, but the polish will be impossible to achieve with the games as service mechanic and the commanders production line they have in place.
As far as whining game breaking the game, I doubt. Balancer and dev usually love their game and will try to bring it to the optimal point, should the economy and time be available. (Life being what it is)
wich means they prioritize money over product quality, talk about loving your work.
But as you agree with me in the end... (totally confused) Yes this whining makes the forum information diluted and the more relevant post harder to find.
I found out most strategy request post turn into unit bashing and stats comparison, I don't even know where to find my stats... (no need to point it out) I end up looking at replays and various pro games with comments.
Then I'll quickly read the forum having been intelligently informed by many someones explaining why X,Y,Z (in context, with bulletin, etc.).
i agree with parts of your post not all of it.
