One of the things I hated about other MMO's - all the specs and such should be 'viable'.

When it gets to the point where you must be 'such and such' spec to raid, group, or PvP - then, meh.

I just think MMOs that focus on allowing players to "spec" their class to go different routes are really taking on more than they can chew (yes even Blizzard with their $$). IMO to allow players to spec you must be able to honestly claim "every spec is as useful as every other spec". (impossible)If 1 of 10 Warrior Specs is better than the other 9... why the hell would anyone spec any differently than the 1 proven to be greater? More to the point, why the hell would a group prefer you (not talking personality/friends here) over the "better specd" person? The inherent flaw in the spec system is.... the spec system.

It's pretty similar to the gear you choose to wear in regard to equipping what best fits your type, and switching/swapping gear when necessary (resists for raids). Just because I want to play as an all Red Plate Ogre (Rubicite), that isn't really fair/feasible when I'm main tanking for a 50's group/raid. Herego, why high end players are all shooting for the exact same gearset. Whats best is.. well best, you can't argue it.
