For that matter, it took about two expansions worth of feedback to convince everyone involved that 'doing massively more damage than everyone else' was not acceptable as an identity-defining trait of WAR.

That being said, I do get why we frequently see posts about how bizarre the job fantasy is in this game for newer players, as in this OP. You're never going to see a change because most players struggle with adapting to it.
Amen to that one
