NO, "people" didn't ask for the removal of Dark Arts, they asked for the spam to stop. And I get that, SB DA was used 10x/minute at full uptime. That's way over the top for an ability. Even Onslaught held on CD would be 6x/min, and the action is situational!
HW DA was kinda clunky because of its long CD (3s) which was changed in SB to 2s, but unfortuntely with many other changes to the DRK MP system.

Nevertheless, the first DRK to clear UWU actually said, they played DRK because they thought it was fun. Well, if a "pro gamer" was happy with it, why did it have to change in the first place?

I don't think "enough people" are the reason why DRK doesn't change in EW, but the fact they just WANT to build upon 5.0 jobs - unless your job is SMN! - and they are heavily understaffed.
Also, I get the feeling that too many of todays DRK players are from the old SB Warrior faction, as well as mayn newcomers that wanted to play the poster boy of Shadowbringers. Just my theory!
