SMN adjustments....seriously?

Still it's like SE is so afraid that if they give SMNs what they (I feel) need that they will be ostracizing their Favorite job of all time, SAM.

I'll reiterate from another thread:
Yunaphobia. The irrational fear that the SMN job will become an effective and important part of the game.

They should give us an ability that let's us use a spirit we have summoned as a kind of "sacrifice" when summoning an avatar of the same element to boost it's stats(ex: light spirit -> Carbuncle, dark spirit -> Fenrir/Diabolos). But now that i think about it, that idea is probably to pro for SE to even consider.

hmm on that note it'd be nice to be able to summon a different avatar without first having to unsummon the previous, though the overwriting summon thing with the spirits for a power boost is kind of an interesting idea.
