Because it is easier from a leadership point of view to force people to stick to the intented raid specs. Sure, raid 0 you have a feral who tags along and you still do fine. Week 2 you have to turn down your second priest wanting to respecc shadow, the ret pala and the moonkin. Why should the feral druid be the only one being gifted with the off-spec role? Because it's the best of the worst?
So much for playing what you like, right
Okay, I'll try to explain my thoughts a bit more if you don't mind :innocent:
First thing - I wasn't talking only about ferals, but about all possible off-spec roles (sh priest, ele shammy etc.). My mistake tho.
You were talking about ppl changing their spec to undesired one (by guild) - that could be a problem but there is easy solution. If someone starts his character as a healer, then he probably chose to be one for a reason, changing spec every week or so is bullshiit. And it is indecent to the guild that was sweating blood to get them a proper gear. There is no room for indecisive ppl in any guild. So yea, screw them. But there should be room for dedicated ppl. :winkiss:
The only change in "the path" I'd approve would be changing weapons, because rogues for example are better with daggers early on, but after BWL they're pretty much equal with swords with little difference. Swords are much easier to use and they perform better against trash btw, so it's profit.
I don't think there is so many guys that would be able to suffer as ferals or shadow priests in vanilla. The most of them would rather choose another class or stick to the pvp, than being the last dps on the screen. The thing is there won't be many of them, so they can raid no problem. By forcing ppl I was thinking about wiping out these off-spec roles completely. Reduction of certain specializations in guild/raid is usually neccessary, but ferals,... etc. should not be banned completely just because they doesn't provide top dps. But as you have pointed out there must be some sort of reduction anyway. Good point, I take that.
Little side note: Every "off-spec role" has some kind of dispell, decurse, remove poison mechanic and heal, so they are not useless in raid at all. I'd even say they've been made valuable raiders by Blizzard this way. It is dps with much higher possibilities. People just see them useless considering only one factor (dps). I wouldn't play these myself, but I've seen a feral druid in raid doing really decent dps and still supporting other ppl with hots and stuff. It just seems effective and nice to me.
You may not agree but it's just an opinion of a good guy with peace and shiits in the heart :wub:
