It's possible to complain about both. I've focused on mobility because it's the change that made the entire game less fun for me, but it's true that WM's incompatibility with Bard's oGCD-heavy toolkit makes it play horribly.

I ran around "willy nilly" in 2.X not because I was an idiot doing it for the sake of it, but because with my latency if I was standing still and I started moving as soon as an AOE appeared I would still get hit by it.

It was this that allowed me to get my clears for T5 and the EX primals in ARR. I worked my butt off to get those clears, just like everybody else, and Square Enix's changes to Bard's mobility have now locked me out of doing the same in Heavensward.
