Q u o t e:
The Thunder Clap portion of Heroic Leap was the subject of much derision on this very forum. If you liked it, you should have stuck up for it then. It's gone now.
That sounds harsh, which isn't my intention, but it is really, really common on these forums to see a concerted effort among some players to say "Change X" and then when we do, other players come out of the woodwork to say "But we liked X!" I can't suggest a great solution to that except to pay attention to the kinds of discussions that are happening, and chime in if you disagree with something strongly. -Ghostcrawler
This one, for instance, was Ghostcrawler's response to some warrior complaints over in the Damage Dealing forum. Maybe we weren't supposed to see that, but I did.
Hey, Ghostcrawler: Please take note this forum is chock full of healers disagreeing (strongly!) with your vision of healing in Cataclysm. Sure there are a few Blizzard-can-do-no-wrong fanboys who think it's all just peachy keen, but open your eyes man. You are marching stubbornly against a tide of discontent.
The road you have us on right now leads directly to a return to the vanilla days of guilds ordering players to heal or not get to raid. In vanilla, I was ordered to heal and I hated it. Then healing became fun in TBC and I loved it. Then healing became spammy in WotLK and I tolerated it. Now healing is going to be awful in Cataclysm and I think I speak for many when I say I'll simply refuse to do it. Is that part of your vision, too?
That sounds harsh, which isn't my intention, but it is really, really common on these forums to see a concerted effort among players to say "Don't do this!" and you turn a deaf ear. I'm just taking your advice and chiming in when I disagree with something strongly. But are you listening this time?
