Anyhow, CC has always been the center of much controversy.

Look, I'm not trying to pick a fight. If some random new player complains that he wants things to be easier for him, I understand that and I'll just chalk it up to not being familiar with our ways.

Wouldn't balancing it be a mess, though?

If you guys really want to nerf wildshape, two things are possible: 1. No Natural Spell feat; instead force druids to take Silent and Still metamagic feats and apply them.
