    Because it's dishonest. If "a lot of people" are basically dishonest, that's not a good thing either. Especially in a discussion forum. I mean, what's the point of any discussion, if spewing blatant untruths is an acceptable mode of operation? Even worse, when such a blatant untruth is the whole argument to begin with!

    Okay I’m going to ask you again to look up hyperbole because if you see “they need to balance the 1% that do high end content” and believe that person actually means 1% exactly then that’s on you. It’s obvious they meant a “strong minority” which is exactly what the proportion that does savage is. It’s just a figure of speech like it isn’t deceptive, this isn’t hard to understand

    As a healer main in this game for nigh on 14 years all I can say is that I’m tired. My role has been eroded of complexity and expression for 3 expansions. I’ve watched the tanks do my role for me for 2 expansions and my feedback and critiques continue to fall on deaf ears.

    I have no idea who modern healers are designed for but I know now it’s not me. This is the first expansion I’m truly considering dropping the healer role and not returning, so if that was the goal- congratulations I guess

    If you don't value honest discussion and are okay with dishonest behavior, there is nothing I can tell you. It's simply a difference in ethical standards. The "1%" implies that high level combat content is "niche". It's not. You defending such a rhetorical maneuver thinking that it will be "obvious" for everyone what was "really" meant just shows how utterly naive you are about your fellow humans. Rhetoric matters, it is indicative of people's world view and shapes it in return.
