That's what I hate, most of the time when people talk about balance, they mean taking stuff away from other characters. I'm sorry you were too good, so now your nerfed. It's the same complaint I have against dynamic difficulty. Instead of having you learn to play better, they fix it so you can win.
That is the one thing I hate the most about MMOs is that everyone demands stuff get 'fixed' as soon as they get beaten by something a few times. A good quote to remember: "I am Rock, Scissors is balanced, nerf Paper"
