GC to world: Aw, the wittle rogue stun you repeatedly and make you sadface? Suck it up, weeniehead: Stop sucking and get better teammates!
Well, I’m maybe paraphrasing slightly.
@mindflayer Agree that it can be annoying. Disagree that it's the same as a one shot. You (and more importantly your team) have answers.

No surprises in this exchange; it doesn’t even really touch on any current (widespread) controversies involving the class.
@bradh1994 The tricky thing about old-fashioned rogue control is it's really unfun to be on the receiving end and feel like you can't play.

The days in which “stunlock” actually meant what the term was intended to mean (i.e., the ability of a rogue to literally keep a toon stunned for upwards of 30+ seconds) are long gone, and rightly so. The issues that rogues appear to have in competitive PvP at the moment are more about the class being properly balanced than about re-establishing the class’s ability to render their opponents’ keyboards useless.

Here’s a roguey tidbit from Ghostcrawler’s Oct. 31 blog post on PvP balance in Mists so far:
We think that Rogue damage in PvP is appropriate—the damage that some other classes are dealing is too high, and we want to adjust those cases before we do any tinkering elsewhere. We still like the Rogue suite of tools and abilities, but we feel like some of these mechanics might have been eclipsed by newer, shinier versions. We are looking at improving Rogue mobility and control in conservative ways.
