Because it was a TERRIBLE system when it was implemented, change was asked for the moment it was in BETA, and terrible things should be changed. It doesn’t matter WHEN. The fact it would be embarrassingly after the fact doesn’t change the larger issue that you are righting a wrong.
You are also playing on the fallacy that people seem to think “because I suffered, you should suffer too.” Sane people don’t think that way. While they may have suffered through some horrible experience, the idea of “esprit de corps” fails when people are given the chance to simply make something better. Yes, people will bond over their shared suffering-- they will also bond over knowing they made the world a better place.
How IE’s work is a FAILURE in design. Blizzard should take every opportunity to FIX that failure. That opportunity should have been enacted in the BETA for BfA! But if they wait until the end of SL? It would still be FIXING something that’s BROKEN.
