Why are you so obtuse this often?

I know you devs believe you have more insight to player mechanics and to “the numbers” then player base that posts on the forums, in the general scheme of things this might be true, but very often what you expect to happen is way off the mark.

What bothers me is not how often you are wrong, but how often you don’t believe you were/are wrong?

Take this wow thread, which I agree with:

If you want to search my post I said pre wotlk, fundamentally nothing for Ret Paladins has changed (a few more attacks and damage abilities which all dps classes got), so how could the devs believe we’d do any better in arena post expansion? This is common sense.

Sure for a short time before hit points and resilience got to normal levels Rets looked ok but if you had any reasonable understanding of our arena issues in the first place you KNEW this showing would be fleeting.

For people who spend so much time designing, analyzing and discussing the game why don’t you get it? You can NEVER solve Rets arena issues around DPS if you take this path you will either make us God’s or terrible there is no middle ground, try to understand this already!

We will either get too much DPS as to kill someone in a HoJ (the only way to make up for poor utility) or not enough and the glaring problems mentioned in the link above come to haunt us.

For almost 3 years WHY DON’T YOU GET IT? You should understand this better then the players and you don’t?

Just get our dps within a normal range and work on utility. The issues and possible solutions have been discussed at nauseam, there is no need for me to rehash it all again for the ten thousandth time.

I took the time to make this post in hopes you may start to look at the real issues for Rets this time.

Thank you for taking the time to ready the entire post.

Q u o t e:
Why is it wrong for me to attempt to bring issues I believe are problems to the devs attention in hopes they may get looked at (which is what I am doing)?


Nothing is wrong with that. It's your delivery that needs work. Yelling doesn't get you more attention. It gets you banned.
