The problem with listening to the players, though - is which players are they listening to?

If you can adapt to nerfs in blocking with permablocking and you can adapt to nerfs in sustain without using heavy attacks then to me that says apparently the nerfs weren't too severe.
The tanking issue wasn't as big as this, first of all. Second, the major point at that time was that it was preventing newer players from enjoying tanking. It also took 3 patches for ZoS to get it right and it ended up hurting non-block builds more than block builds throughout the whole ordeal.People *** about blocking nerfs and how it would ruin tanking and ruin PvE. PvE survived.
Notice how ZoS has been increasing sustain ever since Morrowind?People *** about sustain nerfs and heavy-attack requirements, people found ways around that.
How does one adapt when all the options are homogenized?People will adapt to the changes that make it through this PTS cycle too.
