WAR is actually not in as bad a place as some would have you think. Back in 3.x, WAR was extremely easy to play, but now they've made it a lot more thought provoking and essentially made it more difficult for the majority of these players. Personally, the changes have reinvigorated my interest in it, as it was my main throughout ARR.

That said, WAR is now very unforgiving and it doesn't provide utility. Some want it to be buffed in the DPS department, but these people aren't seeing that the people pushing WAR are doing nearly what DPS jobs do already, so buffing it is not the solution. What it really needs is a buff in utility right now.
