Removing a spec is a stupid solution to this fabricated "problem". You're going to screw the druids who like to play that spec out of their fun so that you can "FEEL" like you have 3/3 specs instead of the not-possibly-inferior-only-equal-or-superior situation of being 3/4?
I honestly don't even know why some of you bother to give your opinion on this when you're so irrational and petty.
Nope not really... Have you played before MoP? If you did then u remember that druids had 3 spec same as now. Feral, moonkin and resto, same as now. Only thing that changed is feral form <MoP can no longer tank and thus we have guardian. So nope, no 4 specs, 3 specs ( dps, healing and tanking )....
And yes, many drawback....
The most optimal solution would be to do away with the notion of dual-tri specs at all , just change the code so that its "Active Spec" out of 3/4 available spec. That way they can add a spec to an existing class later or a new class with 4 specs in 6.0 or 7.0 :P
4/30/2005 started to play... You?
It is when u need different gear for all those options. Moonkin for was added in october of 2005and even then no one was taking it to raids since it wasnt viable. tank druid were bad only resto was viable....
Where? Need 4 types of gear, not best or close to top in 3 out of those 4 specs, needs time to learn to play evey spec, needs different enchants for weapons for different specs, needs different talents, needs different glyphs, new keybindings....
So when did you started to play?
You druids got 4 specs, more gear rolls (like mentioned earlier), and are able to transmog ur purdy polearms into your staves, and vice versa.
Mages, locks and priests litterally got nothing out of that recent transmog change.

No, its not a drawback. You don't HAVE to play all the roles, they are just an option. There is no drawback to having MORE options, not a single one. If you want to QQ about having options, play a pure damage class. Sorry, you don't seem to understand this option. Delete your Druid and only play Rogue I guess. You will only need to learn DPS, only need one set of gear etc etc etc.
I started playing January of 2005, if it matters to you that much. The 31st I think.
For the record, I started as a Paladin, you know, the class that Blizzard forgot to give the DPS to, the one where we were pretty much only allowed to buff in raids?

Can you play all roles at the same time? NOPE you cant, simply cant. And now you are saying that option is good. So why would you chose a druid then for his abilty to blend in and take different roles. Sorry but you are the one who doesnt understand....
Considering you are from USA and me from EU then u started late

I never wanted that!!! I never wanted retared talent selection to replace talent tree. Speak for your name...
Which has absolutely nothing to do with what you were asked.
What is the drawback? Having four meals on a menu instead of three is an advantage, just because you can't eat them all at once doesn't mean it's not an advantage, and it certainly doesn't mean it's a drawback.
"Offer someone a finger and they take the whole hand"...
Feral should just be removed as a spec, utterly pointless! A watered down rogue with how blizzard treats melee hybrids concerning mana (thankfully enh shammy gets so much healing on the cheap).
Bear Bark and Bird should be the 3 druid specs, make things much more simplistic for tri-spec!
Best WoW analogy ever.

Why would you REMOVE IT??? What about all the people that like to play it? Why can't you just NOT PLAY IT IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT? WHy would you want to screw your fellow players like that when the spec doesn't affect you negatively in any way?
That is so self-centered and stupid. I'm really glad that Blizzard knows to tune people with such terrible ideas as yours out. What kind of sociopath do you have to be to think like this?
