I’m like at least 200% sure that post was a meme meant to satirise a very particular forum poster and not something legitVast vast majority of players probably doesn’t really care about those changes because they don’t even play viper and of those players that play only a portion goes deep enough for it to matter for them.
So I don’t know where you think you get these “numbers” from.
Fact is only that there are people happy and unhappy with the changes and that many don’t understand them so there was a problem with communication.
So because only a fraction actually cares or has the knowledge and in that fraction apparently enough actually liked the old state for it to be worth a comment from the producer himself, why then make changes at all?
It’s the same thing that happened with SMN, BLM, DRK and others.
Unnecessary changes to the existing things that had a playerbase only because the devs wanted to or in the desperate try to make something for everyone or because they actually don’t know what they themself want.
Don’t design the game for those that don’t want to play it but for the other side.
Everyone has the same chance to get better with a job they want to main so don’t take the fun from those who actually put in the effort.
I still like the devs but here I say to them:
“You are no longer on the same eye level as your dedicated players. Relearn how communication works.”
As a healer main in this game for nigh on 14 years all I can say is that I’m tired. My role has been eroded of complexity and expression for 3 expansions. I’ve watched the tanks do my role for me for 2 expansions and my feedback and critiques continue to fall on deaf ears.
I have no idea who modern healers are designed for but I know now it’s not me. This is the first expansion I’m truly considering dropping the healer role and not returning, so if that was the goal- congratulations I guess
