It didnt happen in bfa - we sucked there also gameplay wise, we had any raidtiers at which we were midst of the pack rather than bottom third, but thats it. They finally de-reworked the entire spec into WOW TBC Classic Gold a better variant of their pre-legion gamestyle (gameplaywise) and then just never allow us to be aggressive in raids. I believe they just have some very dedicated designers for some classes and specs, and those that are always forgotten and disregarded just dont have somebody who needs it to succeed, so they simply get looked in sparingly and receive a 5% buff here and there.

Wait wait wait. I stopped playing back during Cataclysm, and that had already been a meme back then make it was literally in the WOTLK trailer. You mean to tell me it still never got executed? I've kept up just a tiny bit over the years and completely forgot about this haha

As someone who had to give up playing classic due to lack of time, it has its flaws, because it is a really old game now, but it did a lot right too. It didn't have a whole lot of throwaway pieces. Everything in classic was essentially required, so as to function somewhere else in classic. I have not really seen a match with systems that integrated since then.

Meanwhile, I haven't gotten any new expansions because legion. Why? Because the game keeps chugging along, but I do not feel like it's enhanced. I didn't even enjoy Legion that cheap WOW TBC Gold much. It had been nice, but I was not excited. Hilariously, I adored MoP, since I loved the unwanted stuff (but not a lot of the dailies).
