What was the problem ... ?

Question Title: What was the problem ... ?
Category: Balance
Question: that made you decide to do away with new Mattie Robes? I understand it was a balance issue, but wonder how you as the designers/overseers saw the problem. The same question applies to what happened to Shadow Armor as well.

Answer: The hoary mattekar was an event monster. We knew from the before we even propped "Sudden Season" that they were only going to be around for a single month, its removal had nothing to do with balance.
