Hello, I'm a casual.
I don't use WM. EA/IJ are not on my cast bar. Problem solved. I also don't use food/potions.

I decided not to let the changes get me down. There are those who are bad at math that think that WM actually gives a straight 30% damage increase, without understanding the other factors that go into it. Those that have mastered WM are rightly outperforming me, but the vast majority of bards are not in that group (yet). For content I care to see (no savage), 2.0 BRD is more than enough. I have never received complaints about my dps and get my share of commendations.

Those that quit bard due to the changes... well, I hope they do savage content, because outside of that, 2.0 BRD is still a viable option and worth playing (versus other classes I have tried... so IMHO).

I may pick up WM and work out the kinks some day.

I did my share of complaining coming here from TERA and trying to get used to FF's inferior combat system. This change is minor in comparison.
