To whom it may concern.
Why the lack of response or even letting us know exactly what is going on with Red Mage? Are you simply attempting to push us over to another job? Is that it? Then make it clear. Most Devs speak in riddles and it drives us the players up the wall. So please, let us know exactly what it is that you guys are thinking about doing with Red Mage. I understand that it's in your job description to be as vague as possible or not even bother at all, however your responses have been devoid of life, and even moreso vague. So, please try to be as least vague as you can with these questions. I understand that you may be fired, or have a decrease in pay in because it's in your job description to give us riddles/puzzles/vague responses. Otherwise, I'm starting to see a pattern here with the devs and customer support...(It's not a good thing.)
Right then, here goes. I'm sure though, that I won't get any responses. 'least it's on the table, right? Can't say that I didn't try!
What are the current and future plans for Red Mage? Are you guys gearing it towards Enhancing, Enfeebling, Elemental or melee? (Enfeebling isn't worth the time anymore, unless you plan on removing immunity.) So if it falls under Enfeebling we'll know to avoid the job like the plague in because everything is immune.
If either, then what are the plans to remedy the job? (Also, demigods? or Demigod? Which is it? In reference to the whole spiel that was given about what Red Mage would become. The manifesto. Or did we just throw that out the window?)
Around an estimated time of when would these things be implemented?
Gravity II why? Gravity was made useless against anything worthwhile why give us a second tier if it's going to be just as useless?
Why have a forum if you're not going to take suggestions, and respond once in a full blue moon?
Why give us riddles and vague responses? As it's seen the Red Mage player base is already having a civil war amongst itself. Yet, you fuel the fire by giving us funny responses.
Phalanx, why hasn't it been scaled to percentage or something? x amount of damage when you're getting hit for 200+ isn't going to do much if anything.
What are the current plans for healing? What is going to be done to resolve the issues of healing skill actually being useful?
Enhancing are there any plans for it?
Enfeebling are there any plans for it?
Why give Red Mage such a shoddy merit table?
These are just a few questions, more to come if we can see some life from the Devs. (Doubtful, but again benefit of the doubt. Don't let me down SE. You seem to go out of your way to let everyone down.)
However, you (the Dev) don't have to give us a full summary of what's to come but some specifics would be nice. (Avoid things like "We have no current plans for this.")
Put yourself in our shoes. Currently your responses have been as efficient as "Oh, you've been diagnosed with cancer. You may die today, or you may live to 98, or you may not have cancer at all! WHO KNOWS! WE DON'T, WE'RE NOT CERTIFIED TO DIAGNOSE."
Despite the fact that you may view us as spoiled children, we're only returning the same respect that you've shown us. We're not really that cruel, but with the track record that has been currently shown by your staff, this is how we have to treat your staff unfortunately.
Acceptable responses would fall under "We plan on making x job more of this, this is what we plan on enhancing/fixing. When? Two-three updates down the line."
What we're expecting to get? "idunnolol", or nothing, nothing at all. (Most of us are actually aiming at the no response because of previous track record.)
So, please prove us wrong and respond. If you're trying to ferry us off into FFXVI, I doubt that would happen. Being as that this may be the last SE MMO that some of us may actually play, judging from the actions and responses that we end up getting from your staff. Even then we may not be playing for very much longer. I think it's safe to say that there may be a slight decline in subscriptions soon. So, prove us wrong? Participate a bit more in the discussions?
(If the trouble lies in that English isn't your native language, I could attempt to translate this to Japanese via Google Translate. Or if someone in the English forums who can speak Japanese would be kind enough to translate it. It can be done. We're not as mean as we look, we just expect answers but we keep getting the silent treatment like we're the children that you didn't want to begin with.)
As per usual, thanks.
Also, my apologies if it sounds like I'm being mean, or offensive. I'm not.
We would just like responses, and a strongly worded letter sounds like it would of been the only way to possibly get a response from the staff.
