It just seems sad to me. Mages don't get any better over time (compared to say Rogues or Monks, both of which start weaker in classic but become amazing by Velious).
All Mages have to look forward to is being subpar group DPS and subpar soloers (unless they're a one in a million epic mage). On raids they're CotH and mod rod bots.
Classically they would have at least had a brief window of awesomeness, but now they'll never have any "moment in the sun" at all.
It really felt like they should have had the reverse arc of Rogues/Monks (ie. the Druids and Wizard arc): awesome in classic, but then they fade.
