As an example - A3S had tanks strip down as much vit in favor of STR to meet dps checks. The game was balanced differently then vs now when it came to skill usage, DPS checks, and content in general. This factor is important, but is continuously be dismissed because "I main 'x', therefore I know best, context be damned."




Im discarding any view which talks about absolutes and becomes doom sayers. You want to say "You know, Im a bit bummed that there changing certain things but lets see what the xpac brings", Ive no problem with. This "SE hates us healers, hates Ast, the new card system is utter garbage" is where Im having problems with. It's all speculation. Speculate if you want, but dont hold your speculations as the end-all-be-all truth. Cause that is tiresome.





I main DRK but openly welcome commentary on DRK changes, and Tank changes because its not about just what I feel, nor is it only about what I think it all means. I cant say Tanks will be funner or stupider to play cause Ive no idea how the fights will play themselves out. Even more so, I know healers and DPS in this game who are way better than me, and have more succinct views on DRK than I do. I dont tell them off cause "Oh youre not a DRK, so how do you know." Maining a class is not the only benchmark of whether or not you know or understand a class, or can safely say what is gonna be fun or not come changes.

Your point about being an astro is like me saying " Your opinion is invalid cause you dont do savage, so how can you even think you understand the game's complexities." Thatd be a stupid argument to make. It's why I dont make that argument.
feedback exists before a final implementation, and its valuable information even before then. What early feedback tells you is that people dont even like the idea of what you are proposing.

if you decided to buy your children pizza for dinner, and then they text you saying they dont want pizza, they want chinese food. Sure you can complain how do they know they dont want pizza until they try it. However, most people know what they dont want, and most of the time, they wont get that new pizza and drastically change their opinion. And even if the pizza is decent, it doesnt change the fact they want chinese food.

its extremely arrogant to assume people dont even have a basic concept of what they want, and that their decisions and desires are irrelevant.

maybe they will love this new
