Trying to understand the negative posts I keep seeing about the Dev Team

For the most part I agree. However, sometimes relatively small changes can have tremendous repercussions or advantages.

Sometimes even mere reward scaling, small decision by small decision, can allow for a feeling of freedom and connectivity that one would never have expected to receive from something so minor until everything fits just right.

How much of that "working" was intentional innovation versus stumbling on a formula that worked, I wonder?

Considering how much of that was tossed for BfA, I'm not confident it was the former.
