Which part of summoner's rotation am I meant to find satisfying?

[tearagion]

Which audience are you referring to? Those who wanted perma-pets or ShB summoners? Both audiences lost their class.

Likely what happened is they are monitoring play and popularity rates and ShB probably saw a decline outside of some hardcore fans of whatever they did with the class then.

I personally believe with no supporting evidence that ShB was probably the least-played version of Summoner among the playerbase as a whole since the game released. If this new one alienates more "old summoners" than it gains new fans, maybe they'll drastically change it again. I think more people are playing it now than ShB personally as far as the playerbase as a whole, but since this is anecdotal I guess we'll see. I think more likely they will add more things to do in the next expansion given overall this class has a lot of open bar space.

So they can get fucked. At least you're honest, if roundabout when expressing it.
