the "When is this going to happen if ever?" thread

[Glamdring]

When is SE ever going to stop nerfing jobs and buff jobs that direly need adjustments to scale them up to the cream of the crop? It would be nice to see Dragoon standing on their own next to WARs, SAM, MNKs, DRKs and BLUs, and RDMs seeing utility alongside WHM, BLM and SCH again.

can't happen, if you scale the other jobs up to be in the same league as the current "flavor of the month" jobs, the people on the "flavor" jobs will whine about how weak THEY are, it's a never-ending cycle. Example:at 75 red mage was the end-all-be-all of healers and whm was only there to raise, if at all. So, they made white mage useful again and now the only way to find a rdm who isn't bitching about it is if you chop off their hands and tongue before you ask their opinion. I'm not saying that rdm doesn't need to be scaled up, but odds are doing so will marginalize white, black, scholar, bard or corsair depending which direction they decide to scale it.

It's not the developers problem, it's the playerbase; we find 1 way that works to beat any new content and stop looking for more, sending any job that doesn't fit the build for the strategy to the trash heap. Again, to use red mage as an example they've announced that enfeebling magic is going to start working at end-game levels; since red mage has the best chance of landing an enfeeble and there is no appreciable loss of XP on death it's entirely possible that white mages days in end-game are numberred once the enfeebling is worked in to "the only way" to do (fill in the blank). So how is this a "playerbase" problem? Well, white, black, blue, summoner, bard, nin, cor, sch, and to some extent pld and dark are all capable of enfeebling a target (the enfeebs vary), but the playerbase will simply ignore that and call the jobs "gimp" since red will be the accepted enfeebler.

This goes for any adjustment they make/content they add. Seriously, give it about 3 weeks for the posted strategies to get out there after the update where this happens, then watch the forums here, you'll see.

Q: When is the player base going to stop complaining and accept the tyranny rule of the Devs.

You all complain everyday yet you are still playing and still paying them... huh... weird

actually, im at 1000 days playtime, and i quit this game once about every three months once the content has gotten stale. i dont sit arround gaming my eyeballs out if theres no good new content.

Also, i cancel my account each time i take a break. all 4 of them and their 8 mules.

Actually I'm only paying. Not that it makes it better.

I would like to see an unbreakable or infinite bait you can quest for like ebisu, or more vendors for these things.

I like that the OP's desire to keep it professional was almost immediately abandoned and this devolved into yet another generic bitching thread.

To be fair, with that signature did you ever expect it so stay that way.

i kept it professional as i could lol, people havent been too bad about it either. and unfortunately my signature speaks nothing but the truth. its small wonder why WOW crushes this game in subscribers. its because their DEV team actually LISTENS to their player base, that their GM team actually helps, and they are still cranking out expansion after expansion, and each time they do it, they completely revamp the job system and add either new jobs or new races with EVERY single expansion set. its because they know the truth of my signature lol. i mean litteraly the second the player base raises a legitimate complaint, theyre all over it. i think its because their DEV/GM team actually PLAYS their game >_>
