My girlfriend and I were considering renewing our WoW subscriptions but this change has me sure I won't be returning. I strongly dislike the change. I like the complexity that real talent tress bring to the game. I wasn't a huge fan of the way change to talent trees that Cata brought but I found it a well balanced system between complexity and intuitiveness.

This revamp just seems to appeal to the lowest common denominator of player. It may appeal to some and I won't condemn those who enjoy a simpler game but it isn't for me.

For those who are claiming this offers more choices, that's only if you assume that you HAD to use a specific build in cata (which almost all builds had at least some level of flexibility that allowed the character to be better for 5/10/25-man play and/or for certain encounters or group make ups), and suggesting that the new system offers more choices also assumes that the new system won't create the exact same dynamic.

Regardless of how others feel (I won't judge them, more power to those that like it), I dislike it and will be looking for a different game to play.
