No, B team has screwed up. It's not nostalgia, it's actually B team screwing up. Look back at my earlier posts about things that have been done wrong, like overtuning things or nerfing too soon. I gave specific examples and everyone seems to be overlooking them.

This as opposed to being on Brutallus and one of your 10 Warlocks leaves and you need to recruit another. You can't just pick up any ranged. Shadow priests did crap DPS but brought mana, mages did significantly worse DPS than stacking Warlocks, the DPS was so tight you needed a warlock... The new guy doesn't have enough gear and you need to farm T6 for a few weeks to get him gear while he levels leatherworking.

Yeah, the A-team was peachy.

Not saying whoever is doing things now doesn't make mistakes, as I said, I thought the nerfs came too soon and raid pretty casually (once a week raider and we had about 5 hours of work on normal Ragnaros when the nerfs hit).

There were plenty of rather grevious mistakes made by your so-called "A-team"

If, as you mention, overtuning is a significant fault, almost the entirety of TBC can be faulted. Pretty much All of Kara, T4 and T5 content was overtuned at release. I never got to see most of that pre-nerf because the heroic attunements were tuned so brutally that most of the raiding community was still cycling enough non-CC classes through pre-nerf Shattered Halls with the few people they had who could carry a non-CC class through the instance in time to meet the attunement.

Nobody i saying that whatever team is developing now is faultless, just saying that there was just as much, if not more fault in the past as there is now.

What's clear is that they've given up on absolutely catering to the hardcore players. They still have heroic raids for them, and no matter when they nerf them, someone will think it's too soon, but the new stuff is for the more casual players.
