Except they didn’t redesign the talent trees every expansion, that didn’t happen until they adopted the MOP style talent tree and even after that it was only for some classes. Many of the talents and abilities were copied from older expacs over into the new in the mop talent system.
Before that it was minor additions every expac which is likely what we’re going back too.
And on top of that when I select a talent I have that talent, even when the next patch comes I will still have that talent as opposed to how these borrowed powers worked
For the abilities tied to gear whenever there’s a new patch or hell even inside the same patch I will have to farm a new identical copy of the one I already have but higher ilvl for things like conduits and azerite gear.
Then there’s the whole aspect of the neck or legendary items which you had to level or craft, I don’t have to craft my talents and as for leveling, when I’m max level I want to be max level, I want to have all the points I can invest in my talent build available for me, this was simply not the case with legendaries or necklaces.
Either way they have to change things up every expac, my prefference hard goes to a talent system that just tells you: Hey, you, max level player, congratiolations, you’re done go get some gear
As opposed to: Hey you, max level player. You have to collect abilities from drops, then you have to level those abilities (spell rank) then you have to craft legendary base items, it takes 10 to level 1 rank up and there’s like 8 ranks and no one is interested in buying rank 1-7 so go fork out a token or 2 worth of gold so you can get a power around which basically the difficulty of the entire game was balanced around.
I disagree with you on both spiritual and physical levels
