I feel so sorry for all the new players who will probably never get to experience AST at its best. It really drives home that each expansion is only something you buy access to for two years, and after that it’s gone forever (at least in terms of playstyle), and you just have to hope that the next is as good or better.

Part of me hopes that in two years ShB healers will just be a nasty memory and AST and SCH will have their identities back (and WHM will have found a better playstyle for itself than it has had previously), but part of me just desperately wishes we could preserve the old expanions, even as we move to new ones, even if it was just the option to play an older version of the class when playing content available during that expansion.
