Some people just like to feel superior to others, and will do whatever they can to maintain that illusion. Some people adopt the mindset that nobody who started playing the game after them will ever be as good as they themselves are, as though time played trumps actual skill. Some people think that games should never be easy, and decry any attempt to make the game more friendly to new players.

And some people just like to bitch about everything. ^_^

Only allowing talents in one tree for many levels is dumbing things down by not giving players a choice. "Oh, gee, I'll guess I'll just take the next available talent in this tree, because that's all I can do."

For the most part, though, I like what they're doing with the class redesigns.

Myself, the only thing I mind is the set of more-invasive pop-up help tips with 4.0 and the overly wordy text on some abilities. Heroic strike's "use at times of high rage" line. Maybe tweak abilities so some of the extraneous "help text" in the tooltips either goes away when you click something in interface, or goes away after 5 or 6 levels or so.

Other than that, I totally agree, sir.

@thebitterfig: you win, sir! There is an option to turn off "beginner tooltips" (I don't remember the exact wording) in the Interface panels. Uncheck it, and you'll get back the tooltips with numbers and no suggestions.
