There is currently no indication at all that "people are going to be happy" about this. Case in point, solutions can go wrong as well. SE needs to time thinking about what they do before doing it. Just doing something without regard for what's good and what isn't will help no one in the end.

Although all of this seems to be more and more off-topic, as I still don't consider this a problem worth solving.
I'm more than willing to give a new dev team the ability to try to actually do their job first before telling them that they don't know what they are doing. FFXI isn't dead and the management has changed. If they want to address the issues of a boring end game, then let them. I'd much rather they try something that they think will work than do nothing and let all of the glaring issues continue to be un-addressed because they are a lot of work to fix.

Either way, I see what the current team is trying to do as giving us more options and new ways to play. They are offering diversity and I have no interest in spitting in their face for trying to give us more instead of less.

I'm not going to waste my time linking people's responses so you can continue to try to refute completely off topic points. People made posts that were for what they are doing. If you've read most of the topics on Embrava/PD, then you just weren't paying attention or you decided that people who had those opinions weren't worth remembering.

If you want to talk about THFs current state with TH and the hang ups that exist which makes THF an undesirable job to be played by some, then we can continue. Otherwise, I continue to support NON-2H DPS jobs that actually wanted more role diversity so that people could have interesting experiences while playing video games with other people. People should be rewarded for bringing something other than a Ragnarok DRK or WAR.

A THF being more than a TH whore to a system of TH that doesn't truthfully reward them is complete bull shit. It makes people who want to actually play THF angry and unfulfilled. You will always be able to find someone willing to play a THF to proc TH, since that is all they need to do, but that person will go back to playing something fun or rewarding after they are done doing their inconveniencing work as a THF.
