TL  R version.
We change stuff just to change stuff and have no idea what we are doing, the dart board of what ability to change next is getting a lot of use. The only people who have more than 1/2 brain 1/2 ego is the PR department, all of whom are doing their best to find a way to put a positive spin on the travesty we are making this game into...
More or less what I read in those paragraphs, too. With a little bit of "we know it's a broken mechanic but we really don't have a long-term plan for trying to fix it, sooo....thanks for playing WoW!"

At least GC is admitting that blizzard is not trying, at all, to keep veteran players but instead they are trying to make money by constantly getting new players (who don't know any better yet).
I guess they figure they can make more money by scamming new players into subscriptions for the biggest bait and switch game of all time, instead of actually designing a game that their once loyal players enjoyed for years.
^^ Truest WoW post of all time.

meh, I don't think I'd give the PR department that much credit. A good one would be spinning it much better.

There are those who play tank classes, and those that tank.
The weapon is only as good as the person wielding it.
Free advice is often worth what you pay for it: nothing.

This does read like an admission and also a rhetorical, hmm, exactly what are we doing here?
All games change and classes but many (not all) of the changes seemed very arbitrary, just to change things. Like the healing thing. Some changes I think were good. Good quality of life changes for my warlock and hunter, but some of them...well as GC said, yikes.
