I don't actually think they want a pure balance. Besides which, I know it seems crazy on the boards and people following the META in game makes it even more difficult, but the balance isn't really as far out of whack as people would have you believe. If it were, it wouldn't take minor tweaks to get everyone shifting playstyle/gear so quickly. Suffice to say, I don't ever want a perfectly balanced game anyways. It'd be boring.
