Regarding the statement of Igniz and Vometia... the problem is with that mindset you do exactly yourself what you blame others for: forcing your opinion on others.
Also I have yet to see a single post of one of the "new system is perfect" crowd to substantively disprove at least a part of the problems the people, that think the new system is subpar, brought up so far.
especially:
- armor affects damage and status-effects COMBINED and by that reduce the interaction of both significantly
(little example: "flay skin", If you chewed through up to almost 30k magic armor to apply an effect that affects the last... 5-10k health... it can't affect the 30k MA... but affecting "hitpoints" is basically the effects job)
- reduced importance of health as shield down means game over already by perma CC (unless one has imunities, but these are a lot rarer now, and would deprive it of it's prime function)
- the coercion of perma CC at all...
- the reduced versatility of characters and groups as nuking down 2 pools of shield is always less effective than nuking just 1 of them.
