Alternative balancing sucks

I know some people are gonna hate me for saying this but it's true. Enemies don't drop weapons properly. Even worse they drop 0 ammunition. Instead of getting the magic you need you have to get the magic you will never even use. Instead of making a spellsword kind of build you can have either spells or swords.. cuz ♥♥♥♥ you right. Why should you be able to play the game the way you want? Luckily you can turn it off but jeez why fix the game with community patches only to ♥♥♥♥ it up again with ♥♥♥♥ gameplay changes?

As you say, you can switch off AB so I don't understand the rage. The CP didn't [censored] up anything if the one thing about it that troubles you is disabled by default and entirely optional.

AB mode is of interest to magicians, because it lowers the costs of mana regeneration from 250 Ancient Knowledge to 200. It also reduces the bonus one get from stone tablets, but most of those are random anyway, and a nameless hero who specializes in magic skills will bump Ancient Knowledge regardless of any found bonuses. Paired with high investments into mana points, speed of mana regeneration increases.

Regardless of AB mode, it is capped at 5/sec, isn't it?
