"Express their deeply held opinion"

Don't sugar coat it. The people here are doing hardly more than acting like the game is ending, Mr. Boycott.

I'm never goign to say you need to be content... I'll never tell you you need to shut up or anything like that. What I will say and I KNOW I know people hate hearing it. I know it's stressful, but I strongly believe the changes to AST's cards was a needed change. Mainly cause what they are changing has never been done in this game before. The simple removal of TP means everything changes atleast on that level. And we as of right now can't know how that feels. Unless you've played the game already you can't know. And sadly you can't even compare it with the releash of SB cause SB didn't remove a system so tied to the background of the core gameplay like SB2 is doing. This is legitly one of those cases where instead of instantly screaming we should wait and poke at the changes before we throw the game out. Cause right now you're asking for a change you don't have all the facts for.

Wonder if these changes is why my server and datacenter seems to be dying. Don't see half population now that did last month. That's not good sign

Play what you enjoy among the jobs that are available. It's just a game.

Boycotts don't accomplish anything because they don't explain what the problem is, they only demonstrate that people are unhappy. You might push them into making random changes that will make the healing jobs feel even worse.

Better to play the healing jobs once the changes are live then give constructive feedback on how things are feeling as we go through the new content. Things that look bad on the surface end up much better in practice once we're able to apply the skills to the content they have been designed for. And of course the reverse can be true but we need to actually experience the changes, not just theorize what we think things might be like based on tooltips.

Personally, I'll keep healing because it's the MMO role I tend to enjoy the most.

Are you new to MMOs? It is the end of an expansion. Every MMO has an active population drop at the end of an expansion as people take time to play the other games they've been meaning to play. They'll be back in droves when the expansion is released, setting us up for the next Raubahn EX.

I might join in. Boycotting is a useful tool in situations like this.

You sound like the sort who'd rather toss out a Benefic II on someone missing 3 HP than deign to sully their hands by pressing Combust. Just because you're content to contribute the bare minimum doesn't mean the rest of us have to be happy with it.
