Games wish to allow people to catch up so new and lower level progression players do not feel the end game is unreachable (never widen the progression gap- Rule number one of MMO longevity). When there is a balance issue, you always bring the weaker classes up and never bring the stronger classes down

Caveats

• -You can adjust stronger classes down if the balance issues has be short term
• -If your have messed up as a lead developer and have no contingences in place
• -Something has gone very wrong at the top ?
• -incompetent team

Am I wrong?
