I get what you are trying to say with the examples you listed but I think it's missing the mark.
What you said with the giant clock would much more apply to the question if Erenor should be added in the game or not. Not about tweaking skills.
I agree though, that if 3.5 is coming soon with skill changes, we should wait for that but still, does that mean we shouldn't ever try to balance things ourself just because the "official" developers have tested and done it all before? (which I highly doubt unless you can prove me that otherwise)
The developers messed up on a lot of things which caused players to leave. Skill complaints have always been there, just ignored. If something is bugging people, silencing them is not the right way to go about it. Just imagine being on the other side. Like, if you are playing against a class that has heavily loaded skills and they do the same thing over and over and you can't avoid it with anything you try. Even if you dodge it, the resets they have make up for that.
Just take a look at every other game, even private servers. People try out stuff all the time to enhance people's game experience and make it their "own" game and not just follow the footsteps of a game that is dying out due to the developer's mistakes.
I really really don't get why you're so defensive (or well, "protective" in your own words). Trying out stuff doesn't hurt. You don't lose anything and I'm sure if there is change that people are bothered by, they're gonna voice up. You don't need tons of people trying it beforehand and you surely don't need the best of the best to agree with the changes. I mean, how many people are actually up the arena leader scores constantly compared to how many people queue in the arena lol. Only listening to the 1% top tier players has messed with big title games like Overwatch as well causing a big uproar and "forum raids".
"(..) it's me being protective in general of being able to play this server." That's overdramatic. There's so much more to this game (and private server) than just a tiny skill change. You can still play the game.
"Too much or too little change can cause problems." Welcome to the world of game developing. You'll always have people complaining and new problems coming up, no matter what you do- but what can actually improve ones game experience if you're taking a look at ArcheAge / ArcheRage ? taking risks, being creative and just constantly working on it.
