oh please dear god no blm auto-refresh! I have enough problems with BLM, RNG, DRK and SAM that have no idea of the entire concept of hate control. Having to rest between casts is what made your better blms realize that while yes, you can do 3k damage with this cast if you aren't going to finish it off you are asking for a beating and maybe a lower-tier nuke would work better, especially since the tank has only done 126 points of damage so far. Just as with people who AFK, my 90 thf will SATA a hate-happy DD, since obviously you WANT the hate.

Seriously, for major DD (which blm certainly is) knowing when to go all in is just as important as knowing what will happen if you do if you want the party to function smoothly. Good long-time DDs know this, but there are too many people coming up too fast who just haven't learned that fine line of hate threshold to walk yet. Giving them the tools to screw up even more than they already do is NOT a good idea. Between conserve MP and MP recovery gear/food/meds and +hMP gear a decent blm should be fine.

As to not having the MP to keep up outside Abyssea noone else has the juice either. Abyssea has led to sloppy play in all areas for all jobs, expecting your Atma/AF3 to save your butt. Seriously, my Dynamis LS which is all in the 90 range wipes just as often in Dynamis now as we did at 75! Sure we can get the XP back easy, but why are we losing it in the 1st place?! Because people THINK they are all invincible now, and they're not. No target control, sloppy gigantic pulls that sleepers can't target that size, people all trying to "solo" stuff (apparently thinking the healers are there for thier exclusive use), it's just stupid! You can't get the healers to let the people who are playing so sloppy deal with the consequences of it either! This same stuff happens everywhere now!

No, SE needs to leave job weaknesses as they are to remind us of our own mortality. Besides, how much fun can you have in a game if you can never lose?
