Totally fair points. And I apologize if any of the points I made seemed like they were coming from a place where I wasn’t just representing my opinion, or if it seemed like I was suggestion you shouldn’t represent yours!
I suppose with this particular topic, while I’m not really against changes that could benefit players having the ability to play across various content more easily, I really don’t like dual spec in particular, and don’t think it actually solve that problem well enough for a lot of classes, while it can change gameplay for some.
It’s a lop-sided change that requires a relatively large large chunk of development work, benefits some classes much more than others, doesn’t solve the underlying problem that it aims to, because you’ll still need to respec for various content, etc.
Of course, it depends a lot on whether respecs should be painful. (which personally, I don’t think they should).
