thats what thread upon thread here demanded. There was tons of threads complaining about having too many spells. Threads of people complaining they didn't use 1/2 the spells. Thread upon thread of posters/players complaining that alot of spells didn't feel to them, to fit the class. All they did, was what they thought the people wanted.

This is why they changed stats, as well as how many we can control.

You mention that you do not like the idea of streamlining, well you should have posted during the hundereds of threads that debated this and the devs read. Now its a little late to look back and post complaints.

No offence, but when you wait till after the fact of the change, after not participating the the multitude of debates as they occured. It just comes off as alot of Johnny come lately whinning.
