Are we excited about these new things you're gonna get!", they've instead proven two times in a row an expansion is a harbinger for removing choices, backtrack on what they removed, introduce more oGCDs and buff Broil.
This really resonates with me, because while my friends (who play dps and tanks) were all very happy and excited for the expansion, I was very much dreading it because I knew what made Scholar fun for me would be lost once the expansion hit. Sure enough too, I hate what they did with the job. I absolutely loved Scholar too. I loved doing all content with it and it made me love the game so much more. I miss old Scholar a lot now and I only just dread updates now because I have no faith in the development team making these changes.
