Why is everyone anxious about a PLD Rework?

Reply to above (couldn't fit quote).

I wish I could give my "dream ideals" on what to do with Paladin instead but yeah.. :/ I have a lot of changes that I'd like to see making the oath gauge and defensives in general more interactive, my only issues with PLD has always been more on the defensive and utility side personally, I think it makes sense trying to fix up PLD's rotation a bit, but a total rotational change? that's not something I want at all... but it does make sense at least when you think about it.

My "Ideas" on what they will do really just comes from what makes the most sense and is the most easy (to me), I don't feel like the pld rework in 6.3 is going to be aimed at keeping pld players happy really, I could certainly be wrong but I feel like I'm on the mark at least with removing FOF (they could also make it 120 working with magic, but I think they would go with removing it) and with how they will change goring blade into something that stacks up to 60 (like warrior) because PLDs goring blade makes it "too strict" for current design, looking at most Dots/damage buffs they either stack or they're not a big focus in the rotation like pld's dot upkeep.... I can definitely see req also at least making Confiteor auto crit/dh something I personally don't really care about but I know people dislike auto crit/dh's (which is totally fair), possibly some other abilities like the blades combo follow up.

A lot of people think the Oath gauge might become a attack spender? which is possible I don't think we'd get something that major but it's also a possibility that does make some sense when looking at the other tanks, most are "builder & spenders" which it would be easy to copy warrior or something and design "new" Paladin that way it would also come into question what they'd do to holy shelltron, cover, intervention and how they could possibly make those abilities "work" without the gauge system (being on 25 seconds CD, would easily mean pld is miles behind any tank in defensives). It's certainly a possibility...

I'm holding out a bit of hope until we actually see the rework (can't say I'm not afraid), Problem is how much I'm attached to Paladin it's always my "go to" job and always been more comfort pick when grinding experts or something, it's a Job I feel most comfy on harder content, It's a Job I just thematically really enjoy and It's really got me down that it might not even be something I enjoy anymore.
