Mistake players stupidity for class imbalance?
I read a posts about a level 40 hunter kiting a 60 rogue. Do any of you seriously think that can happen? Honestly? How stupid are you to think that something like that isn't staged. For one, a level 40 hunter wouldn't have the mana capacity to kill a 60 rogue.
Why would the rogue not move behind a corner/mountain, whatever and drop from combat. The hunter cannot out run your epic mount, ever.
I'm well aware that the class has some big issues, but seriously. People stupid enough to die to someone 20 levels below them, has NOTHING to do with class imbalance.
How many of you would actually continue to chase that hunter? A hunter 20 levels below you. If you are that stupid you deserve to die.
Some of you will use a setup movie of something like that happening, and #@%$! and complain about it. But do you honestly think it wasn't set up?
Also how is it a CM's fault, that your stupid enough to to believe such a video? How is it a CM's fault that the rogue class has issues?
CM's don't develop the game. CM's can only report to us, what they are told to report. So before you idiots post something. Think. I know it will hurt most of you the first time, but it gets easier.
A level 40 hunter can only beat the most stupid 60 rogue. Only the most stupid rogues think that a level 40 hunter can kill a 60 rogue. CM's do not develop the game. CM's are not responsible for the rogue issues. Drysc does NOT owe any of you an apology, for anything.

I just came across a link for the video which I assume these threads are based on, and I think its one of the worst attempts at representing a class imbalance I have probably ever seen. I wholly question its validity, and if that cannot be questioned, the ability of the players involved. If anything, I laughed a whole lot and stared in amazement that it was being used to raise an argument.
As a rogue, hunters can get to me (mentally, fighting them can be frustrating), and they can be difficult if you arent prepared or in the mindset to be engaging them. Those situations or players that may be overwhelmed by a specific class do not mean that the current balance between classes needs to be addressed. Just because you are not winning does not mean no one is, or that a great injustice exists to undermine your class.
I understand and agree with many of the concerns brought up here daily, however bringing this video, or this claim, up as a common or consistent fact of life in World of Warcraft is not something that I or the designers are going to recognize as a catalyst for necessary change.
Can we all move on now? I'm hoping to have at least the first pass of information on the review available this Friday.
We are building a forum of extraordinary magnitude.
