Does anyone recall this situation happening with any other skills? I would be interested to know if something like this happened before and what ended up happening. I can't think of any other example but maybe I'm forgetting something.
The situation reminds me of the time when the visual effect for Darkside was adjusted early into Heavensward. If I remember correctly, Darkside originally shipped with a different visual than what we have currently. (The original visual can be seen in the job action trailer for Heavensward.) This particular visual effect resulted in too much "clutter" or something like that. Specifically, when idling in town. To the dismay of many, the visual got changed to something that felt bare-boned by comparison. There was no shortage of requests to have the original visual brought back, but SE never reverted to the original version.

Interestingly enough, now that it's no longer possible to idle indefinitely while under the effect of Darkside, they totally could change it back.
