Quote:Now, the sky is not falling. Skill > class, all that jazz, blahblahblah if you're in a guild like that you're better off elsewhere. But it happens - it always does. Do pure classes have a right to be concerned? Perhaps. I can sympathize and see where they're coming from, and it may be something blizzard should look at closely.
I do understand your point, but, I still consider it a people issue, mainly in the small percentage of ultra-hardcore min/maxers who will do this. If you play in that segment, then yes, this will be a concern. However, I don't think that hybrids should be shackled to satisfty that segment of the population over (imo) a much larger part of the population that won't recruit in that way. Blizzard will do what they think will bring them the most money, and I think that's what is going on now.
For most of the population at large, it won't matter. A lot of guilds in the situation you outlined, if a lock leaves, will recruit a 'DPS' to replace him, unless maybe that was the only lock they had.
