The debate-free Poll.

[Crimson_Slasher]

This is to be debate and argument free, period, we are going to get a tally going, as red mages, we should be able to atleast agree to show our stance, without overinflated egos, and show our respect for one another.

Now the question first, is this; [SIZE="5"]Assuming mage related improvements are distributed to redmage with each update from this point on until the end of ffxi's service[/SIZE], would you like to see melee improvements to red mage, in gear, spell, trait, or ability form, for solo or party situations? In short, do you want to see red mages able to melee well or not?

Simple answers people, no rage, no reasons why or why not, lets make it easy for the devs to see if there is more support from redmages or not.

I want opinions from real redmages only (as in playing the job in a capacity other than as a subjob role,) and anyone trying to start drama here, please everyone, just ignore them.

My vote is for yes to seeing melee improvments in some way shape or form.

I will be editing this as i go to reflect the support or opposition for this.

[Hyrist]

I vote in protest of this thread. It's already gone off to a bad start with the 'real red mages only' tone. And there's absolutely no reason why updates cant apply to multiple aspects of Red Mage.

[Greatguardian]

Ticking in in protest of this thread as well. And against melee updates, because your assumptions are fallacious. Inb4 shitstorm.

[BorkBorkBork]

Against Red "Melee" reform. I'm for Red "Mage" improvements.

[cidbahamut]

This is to be debate and argument free, period

Are you new to Red Mage forums or something? That's like our national pastime.

[Neisan_Quetz]

In protest of this thread, against further melee improvements, for mage updates.

[Kensagaku]

In protest of this thread, as people said, because it's preparing to welcome a whole lot of "debate" again despite your good intentions in the OP. I hope that it doesn't devolve into that but I have little faith in the OF of late. >.>;

Casting my vote as well against melee improvements; while I'd like them, I'd much rather focus on our magical role first and foremost.

[Swords]

I'm for any improvements to RDM in general melee or otherwise.

[Siiri]

Don't care to see any improvements in rdm melee.

[Kitkat]

I wouldn't mind seeing gear option improvements, but overall I would just like to see rdm actually be useful again. Right now it just...isn't needed.
