doom and gloom

[Gramul]

why do most people automatically assume the worst when X?

Because the content have no need to speak up. So all that remains is the unsatisfied.
Don't forget all the words unspoken.

What else is there to do until Heavansward comes out? lol

Well, there's as well the natural "fear" of the new things and changes that affect, luckily not me, many people.

[Saseal]

It's natural human reactions/instinct.

Fear - Change is bad. The unknown is bad. What can't yet be seen is something to be feared.

However, humans are incredibly adaptable - if not one of the most adaptable animals on the planet. The new skills and changes and classes and what have you will be thrust upon the masses, curiousity (also a trait that humans are greatly slaves to) will test out this 'new and dangerous' thing (the changes) and then we'll adapt to use the changes in our favor.

IE - people will moan and groan at first ---> get used to the changes, and then - to a degree ---> get over it and use it to the best of their ability ---> soon, it becomes the new norm ---> but suddenly, more new things announced ---> and then rinse and repeat from step one.
