No, it was never reality. Reality is that Blizz wanted to reduce costs. Shredding the Talent tree was one of the methods they used to reduce those costs. Therefore, they needed to create an excuse.
The excuse they created is that other builds didn't really exist, or just weren't effective, or (if they were somehow effective) only effective in one or two ways.
In other words, Blizz denies the reality that myself and millions of others actually existed. We played the game, we enjoyed the game, and we succeeded just fine.
I was never on a world-first or server-first raiding guild, but that was never my goal. I played many raids when they were live, and I had fun with my "clearly wrong" specs, and I succeeded just fine.
Don't believe everything you read on the internet, and, even more so, don't believe everything you read from a corporate representative.
