The no-reservation system will be preserved.
Really, because last I checked the only reason the Rdm melee thread got as large as it did was because of all the "BG trolls" that kept posting in it making the subject more and more popular.
With every point that they made saying that Red Mage melee is weak and shouldn't be buffed was one more point for why it should be buffed.
When they parsed that a Rdm only did 40% of a DD it was just more evidence of how far Red Mage has fallen in melee.
All the people from BG that kept rating each other up only served to push the Red Mage melee thread up the list of hot topics garnishing more and more attention for the thread and its subject.
The Red mage melee crowd aren't to "blame" for this update.
BG did far more to give us temper then the melee Rdms could have ever done.
If you hate this update, you only have yourself to blame for your silence. Blindly having faith in SE's manifesto like it was your Bible or something.
It's been stated time and time again. If you hate the idea of Red Mage melee instead of just saying that it sucks and shouldn't be buffed, you should propose alternative suggestions for new spells.
Enfeebling is our best bet for any form of niche in Endgame, but it has some terrible issues that need to be addressed, but instead of people addressing those concerns and posting about those, they are instead adding to the melee post count.
Vote with your post.
That being said though there really are two types of people that post in this thread. Those that care about Red Mage and consider it their main whether they want temper to be party castable or not, and those that want temper to be party castable because they want to receive it on their Blue Mage.
Obviously some voices should be heard over others.
If you care about the job why don't you post about how you want Red Mage to evolve. Myself and a few others have stated our vision for the job, but not many other people have done the same.
If you hate the direction you see Red Mage heading speak up. Silence is what's going to kill the job, not a single melee based spell out of all the spells we have received since level ~60.
