I don't undestand the Sylphie hate. The reason why Stillglade Fane was worried about Sylphie wasn't that she just wanted to heal people - in fact, I believe it was implied several times that her wanting to help people was a good thing - it was that she was doing it dangerously. The resolution was teaching her to draw from nature instead of just herself.

I don't think it's connected to the damage dealing debate at all, nor do I believe that is it meant to be some sort of out-of-character "warning" to players. It's a really nice way of explaining how Conjurer fundamentally works in terms of lore, nothing more.
You hit the nail dead center. She's taken far out of context. Similar coincidences can be said for Edda's storyline as well. Sylphie remains one of my favorite NPCs, and I couldn't help but feel a motherly desire to take care of her. If she's back for 4.0, this makes me very happy and feels like a reunion.
