My main issue is the whole flavour of AST has been removed. The flavour of diving/tarot should mean the cards are random. Cards from any kind of deck are not fixed, so I'm not sure what strange fixed deck the devs are playing with. And looking to the stars, day or night, gave us our sects.

The original lore and flavour of AST is the reason I, and many others, have been maining AST since HW... but now it just feels like a shell of itself, not to mention that the excitement and thinking-on-your-toes gameplay is gone.

I disagree with the approach the developers are taking to make all jobs totally accessible, because they're all getting blander and generic. There should absolutely be different skill levels in different jobs, to suit players of all abilities, but I don't think all jobs should be watered down to be 'equal'.

I'm pushing through to 100 with AST but this xpac I'm struggling to enjoy it.
