Is it fun?

I am hoping for this as well, but unfortunately, there are way too many casuals arround in this game, which never played another MMO aside from FFXIV which have more attitude than clue, that would state otherwise and simply say "Numbers are everything and balance is important".

I'm not going to get into casuals or anything but it does seem like a lot of people who are very vocal about the balance and the numbers game haven't played much else in the way of MMOs, at most they have play Wow. It could be nostalgia or some other bias but I really feel that older MMOs were much more focused on world building and immersion of the player than making sure all classes could play within a few hundred DPS of each other. There was also much more attention spent on detail and play style of classes, they all felt different and did very different things.

Ha ha yeah... I remember when the issue swung the other way. Back when balance wasn't a concern and flavor justified most decisions.
Those time had plenty of their own issues and I honestly don't wanna to back to that.
