Hell, often the whole point of certain traits or abilities is to reduce kit depth or remove previously core gameplay constraints, making gameplay simpler and easier. (See Barrel Stabilizer post-StB, BotD traits, Umbral Soul, etc.)
You seriously think WoW healing has more depth than ffxiv? It’s the same, just because they look cosmetically different doesn’t make them more in depth. Every healer has similar tools in these two MMOs. You can go to WoW forums anytime and see their complaints might as well copy paste here and no one would know the difference.
