What will become of Red Mage v1.0?

[Demon6324236]

I'm not against SE doing whatever with rdm melee. I am against SE doing whatever with rdm melee right now, when their time would be better spent working on other, far more content-relevant issues and/or the major worries and problems that a significantly larger portion of the player base has to deal with than just the small crowd of rdms who want to be better with swords even though no one will ever invite them to melee no matter how good SE makes them.

The time it would take them to improve RDM would be the same amount of time it took them to screw up and fix Nares gear when BLU got put on it after Adoulin came out. Put RDM on the VW and NNI Light DD gear sets as well as Abyssea's Pink and Adoulin's Thurandaut and we will be much better off, an update which I think could be done in no time.

Wait how exactly would that make you more appealing to those parties that don't feel RDM has a purpose? That's the point of this thread right?

Edit:

They don't bring it as hybrid, they bring as a DD.

On Delve stuff the only time I've seen a BLU wanted, was for ES Absolute Terror, SA Spells (before the depsawn timer), or for Self Skillchains. So it isn't even wanted as "DD" in the sense of raw damage.
