However this is the give-and-take all games embark when they develop a virtual universe. The more you develop, the more you hone in on your audience. Maybe this game isn't for ppl like me!! Or...maybe in the end its not for ppl like you....OR EVEN STILL.... not for ppl like either of the two of us. These are the things I would like to see in a 4.0 and beyond patch.
There is no prophetic ability. There is no argument. There is no debate. What you are suggesting is actually talking about creating an entirely different game. If that's the type of game you want to play, there is nothing wrong with that, but that's just not going to happen here. I'm just telling you how foolish it is to come to a forum of a game and suggest they completely change the game to your liking. When there are already hundreds of thousands who enjoy it the way it is. Yes, most of the player base would unsub because the game would morph into something they didn't sub for.

If your end goal is to change the battle system which requires each role to focus solely on their role, then guess what that would mean. This game's difficulty would skyrocket. If the damage going out in raid on Day 1 was so extreme that it required tanks to use massive amounts of mitigation in tank stance, doing little-to-no DPS at all, and Healers having to spam heals for the entire fight that they don't even have a chance to throw up even a DoT, then that's the first step. Now what do you do when players get better gear? Healing and tanking requirement is reduced and players are left with a lot of time and opportunity to do more damage. So the only way to combat that is so that the damage going out is so severe even in max level gear for that tier. Which then means, it would take months for anyone to even clear a raid because they'd be gear-gated for months.

The issue is, you aren't talking about what you'd like to see in this game. You are really saying you'd like to play a game that works the way you want it to, which just isn't going to happen in this game.
