I tried to make peace and whatever but you're just a thick skulled dude who claims that the person you're arguing with doesn't want to see anything but his own way, while blissfully ignoring anyone else's points of views (as you did there, writing off what were legit examples of class differences because you didn't like it). So yeah I'm done with the argument. To each his own, keep defending a broken game I guess.

Maybe, just maybe, you're not realizing the way you're coming across.

Cly's argument makes sense to me and I don't see why you're getting so defensive about it. Everybody should bring something, and maybe even be some small measure of overlap so you don't need one specific spec since that makes raid composition obnoxious, but there shouldn't be a tremendous amount of overlap. I don't know the particulars of contemporary WoW, but throughout the period I did play, the class designs gradually migrates from one of uniqueness to one of homogenization. The reputation the game has is that this trend continued to a degree that what class you choose to play is almost as cosmetic as which race you pick. Obviously a warrior isn't going to heal and a mage isn't going to tank, but there's little concern for worrying about raid make-up unless you're trying to squeeze the last 1% of efficiency out of the system, and elite raid teams are going to do that no matter what the circumstances. So on one hand, you don't have someone sitting because their class is unneeded. I have personally had to sit on raids, so I certainly know what that's like. On the other, when you are part of a raid, you do like to feel like there's a reason you're there beyond just pewpewpew.
