How do these changes fix the issues with Paladin?

They announced the 4.0 release date already? O_o Or you have insider information? I don't pay attention to every interview, so maybe you're right, but an expansion per year would be a difficult pace for SE's small team to keep up. Even WoW doesn't get an expansion every year, and they have a much larger team and way more money.

People are always going to complain about patch notes, and the purpose of this area of the forums is discussion. If I can't discuss why a change is bad or insufficient without being called a complainer, then whatever. Doesn't change the fact that whatever skills they have planned for 4.0 are not applicable to the state of the game right now. Telling someone "don't worry about holding groups back now because in a future expansion they might get an ability that addresses this problem!" is silly.

Also, I wasn't even talking about endgame at all. I just don't understand why they said repeatedly that 3.1 would see adjustments to lessen TP problem for paladin when in reality it's not changing at all.

They don't hold groups; they hold PLD it seems.

And for 4.0, if they really push it to 2 years, those that loves to lvl up jobs or expecting new jobs, just like me, might be.. complaining

They were behind their schedule now, hope they'll be back into it. Judging Yoshi-P said they had plans up to 4.0, to me unofficially it means 3.0 came a year after, so.. 4.0 should be up another year or so.

By that time, they should as well have plans for 5.0.

You can complain and 'discuss' once the changes are being patched, because prior to it, they decided to go one route; no matter how many complaints, it will still get out the way they had planned, until the next patch. (but yeah, we'll still discuss it even before lol)

I have gripes too don't worry, I wish some stuff would be the way I want it.

Time will tell as always.
