Yeah, I know, I'm being cynical. After 4 years, I am beginning to lose faith that the fine folks behind ARR will figure out how to do anything but feed the moar dps meta and screw up tank and healer balance time after time. I hope that they can figure it out. I prefer tanking and healing, so at this point my hopes and wishes are for a successful re-balance of the combat system. My expectations are not high however.
The problem is that the devs can only do so much with a playerbase nigh-obsessed with their compensation issues...er, "efficiency". The whole Zurvan EX debacle proves that with almost frightening clarity. The problem also lies in DPS players trying to cheat the system by queueing up as tanks or healers and playing both roles shockingly wrong. The devs cannot possibly set those issues right without punishing players who do play their roles the right way.
