It depends on the numbers. If enough people quit in response to changes to cause a financial loss relative to those like me who come back in response to the changes, then they would absolutely rethink the changes implemented. If you continue to sub, then all they are getting is increased financial success from the changes and obviously they will not revert them.
Unless what you're getting at is that, only a tiny portion of the community actually dislikes the changes. Which then yeah, you're right. Nothing would change. This is capitalism after all, the majority rules, and that's how it should be. Games don't exist for a minority who is attached to things being a way that most people dislike. That's crazy entitlement. If you're unhappy with the game, and it's not going to change, then the best thing you can do is move on. Not to get the game changed back to how you want it to be, but to just do better things with your short life. Maybe the people complaining about the changes are the majority though, and if that's true then you should absolutely unsubscribe from the game if you want things to change.
You act like they do not have complete awareness over the financial success of their game at any given point lol. It's laughable how simple and entitled the perspectives being posted here are. If you are with the majority, you will get what you want. If you don't get what you want, I hate to say it but that's just the way it is. You should have had better taste.
What they should do is just remove the damage component from life surge and make it purely defensive. Still keep it to being only one charge of nastrond per burst window though. It was way too many oGCD in the burst window.Not a fan of making a defensive tool a GCD as this usually means it never gets used due to losing dps. It really should stay off GCD if kept, alterantively it could also be a trait (life leach and crits on drakesbane during life of the dragon for example)
