People that care do tend to rage instead of quitting. However, if this goes on for long enough, those raging players eventually stop caring and quit.
Truth here.
I’m mad that I essentially have to wait a quarter of a year for a die throw on “will my class be enjoyable to compete with”, but I’m not going to keep doing that forever.
I care about the game now. I want to have a nontoxic interchange with the devs. I want to spend my money here. I want to come home after work and relax here. I’d like to compete here, and when there’s something I see as relatively minor and not requiring three-six months to at least -attempt- to fix, and on top of that no ‘we know, we’re working on it’ from devs occasionally, then that gets under my skin. It feels like, indirectly, they’re telling us “this is what we’re doing, and if you don’t like it, tough.”
That may very well be the case, I suppose. The possibility is there, but I’m willing to hope that it isn’t so that I can continue seeing this as a source of entertainment.
Again though, that will not last forever. I’ll be angry, I’ll be sassy until I come to the conclusion that there’s no point in (concisely, mind you) voicing my complaints, and then I will go elsewhere. That may happen today, it may happen a year from now, couple months, who knows.
All I’m attempting to do personally is reach out to the devs to assist me in stopping my departure for as long as possible, because this would benefit both of us.
RE: “You guys just care about action.”
No. I’d like to talk to someone. I sure as hell respect the devs when I am directly addressing them, and if you have a reason for doing x or y when the community is averse to it, then For goodness’ sake, let us know. At least then the people that follow the forums can pass that information on and have a time frame they can use to expect fixes, and hold off on complaints until that time. Gaile, for instance, does a fantastic job with explaining why a negatively-received change is implemented.
Instead of assuming we’re all charr animals that cant be appeased with some kind of transparency (if that is indeed the assumption), how about instead you give us the same benefit of the doubt that many of us are giving the balance team by:
1.) Not deleting [Thief]
2.) Not quitting
I am sure several players here have a solid grasp about what the players want and can probably assist in helping balance to a reasonably happy medium.

I used to think (build op, pls nerf) like you, but then I took a nerf to the knee.
