Paragraphs.... Downvoted not for content, but because it is a wall of text that is very difficult to read. I got about 10% through scrolled down realized how much you wrote with no breaths, hit the dislike and posted a comment.
I deleted the OG post by mistake some how because I was trying to make it shorter. TLDR PA needs to take their time with these class changes and do it correctly no half baked BS and we should just wait and see before we do a massive uproar that is all

The mysterious 'community' is not single body. Not to mention that probably most of players keep away from forum/reddit/discord and just play. The issue is not "massive uproar" but the fact that people might simply leave.
As for the patience. We have a lot of patience and we went through a lot of bullcrap. The QoL changes are good. New gear (shoes, Debo ring, etc.) are hard to judge because it's inevitable. New zone (Ulukita) is mediocre at best. While the spots are half-decent, there's nothing else. No nodes for workers, no furniture, nothing to explore really (knowledge, ecology). It's empty space with few spots. Even for the small mud houses (residences) we had to wait.
This IMO shows how PA treats us and their game: what should be important is either rushed or completely skipped, but they take their time for DoA modes like "War of Roses".
To sum it up: players are already waiting, and nothing will change, but PA is loosing ground. They lost the goal, and people in charge are making random or not well thought through decisions.
