How is it not true? Class balance factually changed throughout classic EQ.

Also I will echo what others have said say that the unbalanced nature of the classes makes this game interesting, it adds depth to the gameplay and makes specialized classes fun to play etc. Can it be frustrating at times to be the Ranger who gets made fun of constantly in /ooc and is left out of groups? Sure but when you get to level 60 it makes the accomplishment that much more rewarding.

And what about the people who want to play those classes and not feel like they are crap? If you want to make the game harder for yourself you can specifically avoid the less easy zones as you adventure and try to level.
Adds depth to the gameplay? I really can't agree with that at all. Adding depth to the gameplay would be something that makes players interact more or something that makes the game require more skill. Playing a shitty class doesn't make the game require more skill, it just means you won't actually be able to go adventure and fight where/when you want to as a result of being undesirable for groups.

BTW I mained healed a Karnors group for hours today at level 53. Once we get Superior Heal we are at least a viable backup option for MH if there is no cleric around.

I'm sorry but Karnor's isn't that demanding. Wait until you level up more and get into the hard zones. The content becomes so difficult that you MUST have a Cleric and you MUST have a buffed up melee (and only a Warrior or Monk suffices because, if "the timeline" is being followed, then Paladin's/SK's can't tank at that level and won't be able to until well into Velious). Often you MUST have a crowd controller as well.
After you've gotten up there with the Kunark content and are getting discouraged about just how little you're able to do, it only gets worse with Velious. The
Holy Trinity of Warrior-Cleric-Enchanter becomes even MORE of a requirement there, as the monsters' resist rates and stats reach even higher heights of ridiculousness.
