That explains why whenever I suggest "Blizzard should just sell Level 80 characters for people who like end game and keep the other levels interesting for people who like other stuff" I get my ass toasted.

They are doing that already.

The problem with Rogues in vanilla WoW wasn't that they just happened to win every gank event. It was that they stunlocked you completely until you were dead. Oh, maybe my guy would get a second here or there to swing his sword or cast an instant spell, but that was it. I can't tell you how many times I saw a level 60 rogue win the fight while retaining 90% or more of his hit points, often he was uninjured. That was the problem. Warlocks were similar with unlimited chain fears. Or consider how a level 60 Shaman could take on 2 - 3 level 60 alliance and win, no sweat. Again, I can't tell you how many times I saw a Shaman walk away from a fight with 2 Alliance with 75+% of his hit points.

Oh well, that's the past.

I was talking with a friend who is currently playing WoW and she was telling me how Monks are unkillable (one-on-one.) "Worse than Deathknights were in their heyday." And they make the best tanks, the best DPS and damn good healers too. Blizzard has done nothing to iron them out. At least Deathknights got watered down a tiny bit after a year. Not so Monks.
She had high hopes for Draenor though.

That's crazy talk, at least for PvE.

Check out the current Noxxic DPS rankings. Monks don't really compete with Hunters, Mages or even DKs on the DPS department. If you use BiS even us poor Warlocks come out ahead.

And as tanks they're way behind DKs and Paladins, Warriors and maybe even Druids. OK, maybe not Druids. But you get the point. I've seen Monk tanks kicked out of LFD out of principle and given how hard it is to find a tank, that's saying something (never happened to my bear Druid).
