In hope to revitalize the lands once filled with purpose and peril, the old game developers were replaced with the new. From Abyssean lands to Adoulian Isles, the remaining adventurers were occupied with new obstacles to overcome in which the game developers believed would win again their players' loyalty and dedication. However, the developers, once revered as Gods, forgot their one unspoken promise that had been upheld many years ago: to protect the equality of all jobs. The game developers, although aware of their grave mistake, continued on throwing new spoils at their players hoping that the Lethe waters of time would wash away the people's memories of their vow. The people may have forgotten, but the lands had not. The world's diversity had faded over time as battles called forth stricter strategies. People began to only practice the professions of Monk, Bard, Corsair, and a few others because the other classes could no longer help fend away the new mighty foes of Vana'diel. Some of the unpopular classes have survived to this day, but four classes in particular now stand at the brink of extinction. Beastmaster, Puppetmaster, Summoner, and Dragoon, may now be of ancient practice, but a few brave Vana'delians have decided to stand against their Gods, the game developers, and fight for a world where even their kind can exist too.
Today I would like to announce the Declaration of the Pet Job Equal Rights Movement! Pet jobs have been forgotten for too long, and it's time that we stand up together and fight to make our jobs better and more useful in group content so that we can enjoy any form of content on the jobs that we love.
The only way the pet job community is going to get their questions answered and their problems solved, is if we work together to do so. This means commenting, posting, and also liking those comments and posts if we do. Some posts get over thousands of views but only a handful of people actually like them. If you agree with a post, like it... it will show the game developers that the people really want something to happen. We have been asking the game developers for far too long to fix our problems and they just aren't listening and they're not answering. So let's make them listen and answer. Let's show them that we're tired of suggesting things but never being heard.
This thread isn't just about giving pets access to cures and buffs, but to make our four jobs more useful and more needed. Whether that that is by giving our pets more accuracy, more attack, or more defense, we simply want a solution to our problems so that we can all participate in all content. So start asking questions and demanding answers whether it be about giving pets access to cures and buffs or fixing the ridiculous timer on call beast...
The game developers have stood silent for far too long! And although this post may sound cheesy as hell, this is our opportunity to show them that we mean business. Let's make them talk!
