Sure, it may be harder to solo as a mortal creature whose only skill is swinging weapons compared to a reality-bending caster class, but can you imagine this server without dedicated aggro magnets, corpse retrievers, pullers, trackers, off-healers who won't get one-shotted, versatile classes, etc.?

Then World of Warcraft comes out and all their classes are just differently themed DPS, and the only class variety is what color of fireball comes out of your ass when you faceroll.

Now suddenly the entire gaming landscape starts thinking MMORPGs are supposed to be retarded dick measuring contests where any class that isn't in the top 5 on average DPS logs is "bad."

There's definitely validity to the sentiment of imbalance that has 0 to do with WoW.
