Oh, I remember that saltstorm fondly. People started losing their minds in regards to jumping. Threats to leave, doomsayers proclaiming it'll kill the game, that it'll only invite the worst kind of people. Of course this was par for the course in 1.x when all the changes were slowly being thrown in. Hell, there was even a fallout when they started clearing up the momentum with walking/running, lol.

As for WM.. I don't know.. I am getting the feeling that any changes now would be detrimental. Damage is done.. we'll probably just have to live with it.
That's because it rarely existed, if even at all. It's just the catch-all justification people use to have whatever opinion, whether they've actually seen this jackalope or not. But you're right, Bard is a shambled amalgamation of a job that just barely managed to get footing after it was beaten with the tinker bat enough times. One more swing could either miraculously set everything into place or collapse the entire thing.
