The point is that a lot of people went through this and have not produced better results. Not private servers alone, but the open source community as well. Warmane does not ever claim to be getting-everything-right, our hotfixes to tuning changes on Lordaeron showcase that well, completely nor I have ever claimed that I am above mistakes at all. I think you all know me well that I do well to research before saying things nor do I harbor any malicious harm and I am always open to facts and new information. The hostility showcased in this thread is something concerning to me and I am not sure from where it came from. In the previous post alone I welcome anyone who has better and more factual information.
I have already asked for more precise information before this thread as well. On retail, the damage buff did in fact add a damage buff and a health value according to some sources and according to some others they don't. Right now the attitude of the open source community is that it should add some scaling. We know for sure that they don't after the Cataclysm patch hit but the speed of the demolisher and other various things changed.
In some instance, the demolisher would scale from the driver, in some other instance it would scale from the higher item level players in the demolisher, regardless if driver or passenger.
To put all that aside, I do want to mention that the battleground overall should be more enjoyable and that the nerf to the damage would make it so, however we need to be sure what we're doing before attempting to change something fundamental to to the battleground and unfortunately WoWHead tool tips don't cut it.
