No, probably not. They wanted to simplify the cards to make them easier for people to use quickly without much thought so that the lowest common denominator of player would perform closer to the upper crust. The current system has ultimately succeeded in doing that, compared to the older system, regardless of our views on it as players. Even with all the hub-ub about it, I see them letting it stew for the rest of this expansion and the next, and they might even go as far as just eliminating the crest idea so you don't have to care about redraws all that much.

I know I would love for the old system or something like it to come back, but with the changes they've made to the game, they'd have to delete Spire or change its effect. Hehe, an easy change if they did go back to how things were would be to make Spire enact a buff that makes gauge depleting abilities/weaponskills cost half of what they normally would.
