While your post was sarcastic, I truly believe your first phrase is actually sincerely true. There is a small, but elite group of priests situated at the highest end of raiding who love where priests are right now. They want priests to remain an "exclusive" class, one that displays a clear divide between them and the "casuals". There's a saying that goes around the game that there are only two kinds of spriests. They are either terrible to the point of uselessness, or the best players you ever grouped with, with pretty much zero middle ground. It's a class where the hyper-elite can literally stroke their egos just by logging world of logs and getting automatic orange parses every single pull, because (a) so few people are playing the class, and (b) it's so difficult to excel with (heavy reliance on modding, mechanical knowledge, and perfect internet connections). It's pretty much an elitist's wet dream, and they will fight hard to keep it that way. Git gud, or git out.
