You understand that when Ion says ‘play the game the way you want to play’ he’s specifically referring to content right? Do the content you want to do, etc etc. So if you want to PvP, you should be able to just do PvP. Mythic+ your jam? That’s an option. Want to focus on crafting and gathering? You can do that, etc, etc.
That philosophy doesn’t extent to classes available to various races, spec design, or anything like that.
