This is my very first time posting a reaction to any topic of this game.
First of all, I absolutely agree that sending death threats to game devs and calling them to be fired is unacceptable! Those people need to get a life.
Second, please review the composition of the design team at the company cuz it seems they are favouring their personal gain rather than balancing everything to be of the same effort and skill level.
Third, it is absolutely unacceptable of some of the devs enjoying the critical feedback from the community and ridiculing it. This is exactly where Blizzard started to go downhill.
Fourth, i can see from the balance patch where the design philosophy is heading to. It seems that all classes will be able to provide everything (like boons, etc) which is just going to homogenise all classes. The reason why people loved playing certain classes because of a very UNIQUE ability available to them only (like banners, spirits etc). I have characters of all nine professions myself. Now it is absolutely unnecessary for me to ever login to my ranger or warrior again.
Fifth, I saw several group sign-ups who were readying themselves for Harvest Temple CM. Almost 95% of the group's had almost the same group composition - 1 Heal Alac Mechanist, 1 Quick Firebrand, 1 Heal Quick Firebrand, 1 Alac Specter and 6 Scourges. This alone shows how bad the balancing in this game is.
Lastly, you had told during the EOD balancing that the balance was focused more on the skills of the player rather than their class buffs. But it is actually getting overturned where now players are getting into groups for some of the broken class skills (*cough cough* Firebrand).
