When something is ahead by far, it is bad.
People use "meta" as they use "system" and "the powers that be"... It is just a way to personify a single subject to blame for something.
There will ALWAYS be a mathematical best. Thus, always be a meta.
Even if that mathematical best is only 0.5% better, there will be LOADS of people chasing that 0.5%, even those that are still very very far from the skill level where that matters.
Right now in ESO you have several setups that are only 2-3% behind the "meta". Still, there are several people that can't break 60k on trial dummy that will spent all their time farming those meta gears instead of actually working on rotations, weaving and such.

Are you saying that meta builds perform 0.5% better than other builds?
Because that is not the case and you know it. Dont belittle people.

As a stamina player I am happy that SnB has been brought in line with the other stamina weapons (not happy about making the shield a spammable tool).
I am happy that Rally isnt as OP anymore so that all classes have to run 2h.
I wont be happy is Zos ruins D. Swing instead of finding was to make the user of this awsome ability work harder for the result.
This is how nerfs should happen. When something makes all other options laughable, it should be nerfed.
I used to play wow. Not rly following the meta was viable. In eso? A casual game as you say? Oh boy. No meta, no kills.
Buffs should occur in abilities that nobody ever uses, like Igneous Weapons for example. Or Consealed Weapon.
Definatly not blanket buffs across all Dots by 60%.
Zos was never ever ever able to spot a problem and make ONE adjustment.
They have to touch everything and upset the balance in a new, spectacular way.
