I think it was pretty clear what he meant, even through the hyperbole, but as you wish.

You know what they say about assumptions, right?

I honestly do think people playing it for any reason, even outside of savage content, are making a mistake.

^ case in point.

Sure, people may enjoy the theme of a role, but at what point does it become something that should be actively discouraged? If Cure and Cure II were only 100 and 200 potency, would you still insist that people should be able to play WHM? Is playing as a class instead a perfectly valid way to play the game, simply because people may prefer the class's lore?

The fact that you have to exaggerate like that to make your point shows that the current situation really is not as bad as you (and most people here) are making it out to be. Maybe it sucks for the raider crowd, but the raider crowd is not everyone. I'm all for things being fixed, but telling people they shouldn't play a job just because it might not perform in the aspects of the game you like (because nevermind what they like; that's not important, right?) is uncalled for.

MMO=/= Fighting Games.

The overarching mentality is still exactly the same, and definitely comparable here. You have people who want to play the character/class they like, and then you have blowhards saying nothing should be played except the statistically "best" ones and that the rest may as well not even exist. Threads like this one are making it very clear on which side of the line people lie.

Correct me if I am wrong but personal skill and knowledge of a characters moveset weigh heavily.

Of course it does, which is why someone might still perform better on a class like WHM despite SCH/AST being statistically/capably superior. That or they just might *GASP* like it better.
