If it wasn't an issue, WOTC wouldn't be switching the resource paradigm for subclasses and changing class features 5 years in.What if the community doesn't have an issue? Is it possible this is just a problem for hardcore gamers?
I think it is a problem. However it's so complex and nuanced that only hardcore know how to describe the problem.
It's the "Casual fan knows their sports team is bad but can't accurately explain why" syndrome.
