World of Warcraft: Casual v. Hardcore

As mostly all WoWers heard by now
Blizzard has cut down Honor Gain by 30% for PvP, raising the ire of many a gamer, like when the 40 man raid dungeons was announced as soon to be 25 man dungeons, or that Pallys and Shammies will be available for both factions. From these changes it has appeared more and more to me that Blizzard's try at walking the fine line between casual and hardcore MMORPG gamers is getting rougher and rougher, and that it's becoming more prevalent in the game that this sort of balancing is cheesing off both sides and leaving neither happy.

Ret Pally LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, Patch 2.0.1 has graced it's presence to all of us WoWers here, and my GOD, it's MAGNIFICENT! The much maligned Retribution Paladins have now have their day with the GODLY Crusader Strike. (with a whopping 6, yes, SIX, second cooldown only!) It's too soon to figure out if this is some sort of patch glitch, considering that the WoW BC talent calculators peg this talent with a 10 second cooldown, but no Pally will be complaining about the constant kickass they can whoop with this 41 point talent. Literally, the Crusader Strike helps constantly pound on the enemy with my 2 hander with a steady diet of PAIN...I've been going through battleground and now mages and rogues are KILLABLE with the DPS I'm putting out as a Ret Pally, and it's just marvelous.
