None of this addresses the points I made. If Ghostcrawler acted like most devs before him and didn't post on the public forums, this hatred (directed specifically at him, of course players have always hated the devs in an abstract sense) wouldn't be there and we would be clueless about even the reasoning behind the changes being made. You may or may not agree with the direction of the game, but I appreciate that there's at least an attempt to keep players in the loop. You say that classes are being homogenized, but do you recall how things were before? Entire specs were completely useless throughout vanilla and for much of BC, while others were so shallow that you could do top tier dps with 1 spell. I think it's quite reasonable to trade a bit of homogenization for a full slate of interesting and useful specs. Whatever criticisms you make of GC and the dev team need to take the significant improvements they've implemented into account if they're going to have any credibility.
I do remember. That's not the point.
People don't hate GC because he talks, they hate him because of what he says and how he says it, and because he has taken the game that players liked and turned it into something else. Has nothing to do with game balance.
No, it is the point. Whatever your problem with GC is, hating on him for ruining the game or making capricious/malicious class changes is simply ignorant. There have been undeniable improvements in the utility and interest of almost every spec in the game. You seem very determined to detest the man, but I guess it's true what they say: haters gonna hate.
