Q u o t e:
as long changes affect both parts of the game, these forums stay as they are.
Yup, what Khoal said.
We have to consider the ramifications that a change to one aspect of the game has on the other, so as long as you want to participate in class mechanics discussions, you need to do the same.
Part of the motivation for pooling multiple classes into one role forum is so players would have to actually defend their claims in an audience that consisted of more than just their own class cheering for any calls for buffs. The same is true of PvE vs. PvP. Our concern is that if we had a PvE only forum, players would say things like "Just change this ability. I don't care if it ruins PvP because I hate PvP," and then chasing anyone out of the forum who defended PvP because "This is the PvE forum! Go away!"
We realize the discussions in the role forums can be heated, because to some extent we are inviting players to disagree on complex topics or defend their own class in the face of "Nerf the OP class" calls. We'll try to keep the actual trolls at bay.
