I did not setup a "strawman, I stated, clearly and in digital print that I think Bladesong is Always On, at two uses per Short Rest.
...
I will only state, I am currently playing in a group with a Bladesinger. Our group largely has control over our day and our SR and LR.
...
In 9 months of play, there has been one time, I can remember where the group has not been able to take a Short Rest after two combats. As I stated before, in effect the power is Always On.
Describing a different experience than your own, doesn't make the experience so described...false or disingenuous.
By making Bladesong, more scarce you make it more exciting to use. That at least is what the change elicits in me, excitement. I am also not, currently playing a Bladesinger.
