I'm not going to get into casuals or anything but it does seem like a lot of people who are very vocal about the balance and the numbers game haven't played much else in the way of MMOs, at most they have play Wow. It could be nostalgia or some other bias but I really feel that older MMOs were much more focused on world building and immersion of the player than making sure all classes could play within a few hundred DPS of each other. There was also much more attention spent on detail and play style of classes, they all felt different and did very different things.
