    It's an utter sad state of affairs when the suggestions amount to "Go do content from 3 expansions ago". We have been doing this already for long enough.
    It’s literally impossible to produce mainstream content at a rate that keeps pace with the players devouring it.

    Well, at least content that still adheres to some sort of quality standards and has no cheesy roadblocks in place, like WoW TBC Brutallus that was nothing but a numbers and gear check and prolonged the patch in an artificial way. But that wouldn’t even work here because the gearing is way faster and easier and the “raids” work differently.

    That doesn’t mean that “oh people will always consume content faster than can be made so the answer is to make no content at all” is a valid answer to this problem

    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

    I would say nobody is asking them to have that constant production in mind, as yes it is not feasible.

    But they do not even put in any modicum of effort towards giving the players something to actually devour. It's like "Here's your 1-time snack, you can get another one in 13 months time.". People are not asking for a constant meal by any stretch of the imagination.
