Bearing that in mind, why should Monk players expect anything? Why should they get their hopes up for ideas that are far more likely to never be implemented in any fashion? We're more likely to have another DPS job thrown into the mix before we see existing DPS have their issues fully addressed, and reality has proven this to be correct multiple times.
When you've made it clear that the mother devs won't hear you, what good do your moans and self-pity do?

At the least the speculation allows us to refine our understanding of what we do and don't like about the existing kit and what we would and would not like about future kits so we can give more precise feedback early on, rather than providing an overly broad response that can be retailored to whatever narrative or opinion the devs prefer to acknowledge.
