    Just because the writers “explain” a pacing change doesn’t mean it actually makes any sense
    Yep there was no problem there because the narrative didn't actually go like that at all.

If you enjoyed it, good for you, but making ignorant and arrogant comments about people just not understanding the story isn't the strong argument you think it is, in fact it highlights a problem contrary to your own belief.
    Wow you're rude. Fortunately I have a policy for dealing with comments like yours.

    I'm rude for making a counter argument while using your own rhetoric and calling you out for looking down on players who didn't like the story as much as you did? Okay. :thumbsup:

    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
