The point is that you don't want to anger your current end-game players because they took the time to grind out their characters. Telling them to go grind some more before they can start focusing on end game content when they're already maxed out is really bad.

To hell with the current players. 30k or what? A drop in the ocean. They shouldn't make their decisions based on a potentially a tiny minority. And if these 30k stay as the majority, they may as well close the shop.

They would still need something that says "Theres no way around it - this person is a damage dealer." Or we're going to be in the same exact place we're in now.

I don't think you have much basis for this assumption (or, at least I'd like to hear what it is). What they need is for the role to have a purpose. If a nuker is needed, it'll be popular.
