I would say pruning of the skills etc isn't the biggest reason why WoW is struggling, but rather the vapid progression system. Sure, they have admitted they have pruned skills too much and will(?) be rolling it back a bit at some point. But still.

Anywho, I have to partially agree. I did get some WoW vibes when I found out how much has been pruned from the jobs. Like an omen, a glimpse of the horrible future that might be. With that said, some pruning was necessary to avoid horribly bloated hotbars.
