IMHO SOE has chosen to turn their backs on those classes that are specialized. Warriors and Clerics in particular got beat up bad and most of the hybrid classes made out with LU13. It seems to me that SOE wants this game to favor them over us to keep pick-up groups going and make it easy to fill spots when someone leaves a group. After all, if their are 4 Tanks that can tank as well as Guardians and have much superior DPS and utility, who would you want to fill your groups Tanking spot if you were playing a DPSer? A Guardian/Zerker or some other class that will tank just as well and allow your group to kill faster and therfore gain XP faster? Hmmmm, let's see... I doubt you would pick a guardian first.
That being said, I don't think SOE will address any of our concerns except those to fix broken combat abilities. If I am wrong on anything I stated, I am sure some SOE moderator WILL point it out... if they even still read our forums, or care.
