I agree with all points made in the OP. I continue to echo the same bit - putting balance aside, a lot of this is just not fun.
I mean, I have a really hard time believing any of these guys do anything but run dungeons/raids. The changes leave me astonished at how disconnected they are from their own product. It's like Walmart for MMO's... it's got the essentials but it's annoying as all hell.
Also, have we talked about DK's and Discs? Because what the fuck.
