Even the poll with all its flaws (no alternative options to "black and white"), the nature of forum attracting mostly the more invested people (there are few that are not even interested in raids at all and those extreme casuals)...the results from 5842 votes is 43% for the current implementation and 57% for dumbing it down for raid.

Sorry, but that's not anywhere near a "win". It does not validate the effort, time and money that such a change would require, basically scrapping the whole thing and making a new class from scratch. Neither side have the "upper ground". So these back and forth arguments are leading nowhere.
