This has never been about the ability of the cards to make or break runs, it was about parsing the best numbers using the cards that is all, people got mad because they weren't getting top parses when the AST that was feeding them cards didn't draw enough balance cards.
And, guess what? You all got mad that the healers weren't balanced. Everyone wanted AST because they could do that. So, what did SE do? They catered to your demands. AST couldn't do that anymore, or, rather, that was all they could do. Honestly, you guys have no one to blame but yourselves for the state of AST. You wanted balance, and you got it. And, everything that goes with it.
