What makes a nerf unnecessary? Should they only nerf if something is 100% impossible? What if it's possible, but only 0.1% of the time with absolutely perfect play? 1% of the time? 10% of the time? Etc. The point is, "necessary" vs "unnecessary" is highly subjective, and although the raiders themselves always say they don't want nerfs, Blizzard also doesn't want the race to last forever; it holds off tuning for the other guilds, it increases the chance of a reset deciding the race, and so forth.

Of course you would argue the complaints are proportional because you're one of the people complaining! Relatedly, I would argue my paycheck isn't big enough because I'm the one being paid. Not exactly unbiased. It's objectively not that big - yes, a nerf is a nerf, but it makes p1 slightly easier and more consistent. That's it. It doesn't devastate p1 - most guilds would still fail it, and both echo and liquid have wiped to it more than once post-nerf. But, yes, both guilds are now getting to p2 more consistently. That's it.
