New expansion EverQuest II: Chaos Descending ETA: November!

So many possible responses to make to various posts.

Nope, not gonna do it.

Instead I'll just be over here with my head in the sand hoping.

Maybe an apology?

Ah, the post from this thread (which I no longer see) didn't contain that discord information - or a link to the post, just the assertion.

I do apologize for the rumormongering part - which could have been prevented by doing what you just did, however, I stand by the rest.

It was in discord, his words where something like "There well we new ALPHA classes this expac" when people were talking about warlocks dps etc.

Care to comment on why warlocks and monks were left so "OP" this expac? like a small tune to a couple of abilities isn't that hard. But looking at the amount of people that changed to a warlock/monk and spent $$$ to do so, why would yous change it?

I'd never expect one, but if a candid response was given about anything to do with class balance I imagine it would likely be something along the lines of; "We have a handful of people with limited expertise and even less in the way of resources tasked with holding together two titles that are both aging and diminishing by the day. The company is not likely to put a significant injection of manpower or resources into these games any time soon and some problems have a much higher priority than others. You people have been whining about class balance since EQ was in beta and that's likely never going to stop no matter what we do. So let us address the more important issues where we can and be thankful the lights are still on in the mean time."

Or not, whatever.

Does anyone else find the use of "alpha classes" a disturbing MRA-type characterization?
