I have to know - is the doom and gloom mentality always the thing to do in the weeks before an expansion? It's happening in the tank and DPS forums as well (though maybe not to the extent of us here) and I want to get an idea of how seriously to take it. There are thresds about unsubbing, even threads complaining about classes like AST that recieved pretty much exclusively buffs.

So are we always chicken little before an expansion or is Stormblood unique and I should actually be concerned? I swear I'm not trying to poke fun at anyone here, I'd just like to know the appropriate level of concern.
This about normal these days for western players of any mmo these days. People say they want change but when they get it they freak out before trying it. Sometimes it's justified sometimes not. Also, all the game is dying or doomed people like to rear their heads around expansions or major patches. Nothing new lately in the mmo world.
