That doesn't need to mean jobs become hard and punishing either. We had a healthy middle ground before, and we can have it again.
I remember back before shb released yoshi p said healers were in an unbalanced state and they were going to homogenize them as a baseline and expand them out in the expansion after that. I don't believe anything that man says anymore. Too many lies to believe. I also only resubbed recently for occult crescent and was sorely disappointed. Back before ARR was released yoshi p said in an interview that one of the biggest problems was 1.0 prioritized graphics over gameplay. Which is exactly where we are now where everything looks gorgeous but the content itself is hollow as can be. I honestly have 0 faith in SE. I just hope they don't fail so blizzard still has a reason to improve and be competitive.
