These days people just want SE to do the work for them so they don't have to make any effort. Just make PLD stronger. Yeah, that's the trick. And they keep doing that, making jobs stronger. And it unbalances other aspects. And it keeps repeating itself. All because people want to skip out on playing the game with their minds and just TP spam shit. Good job.

I created an account to post just to reply to the stupidity that keeps being regurgitated about the "good old days."

So in many players minds, "TP spamming" is playing the game without thought and is completely asinine in the hypothetically "correct" way to play the game. Just for me to understand, playing the game the proper way as a damage dealer involves me turned around from the bosses actually physically doing absolutely nothing at all.

Let me go over that one more time. The correct way to play a Warrior in a party is to wait for the PLD (or whatever tank is currently in vogue) to generate a sufficient amount of enmity (completely arbitrary as it depends on his skill at the job) and then spin around and attack for just a bit until it "feels" like I'm going to pull.

This is playing the game with my mind?

Now I was criticizing the old thought processes of players, but I'd also criticize the enmity system itself for forcing people to think that not playing the game is even, or should even be an option. The system itself shouldn't foster gameplay that revolves around extended (arguably even any) amounts of time doing nothing at all. That is not to say healers should be constantly casting or anything since they are constantly focused on the bars, but if I'm a damage dealer I should be dealing damage. There should be a system in place that allows me to constantly deal damage. I should always be paying attention to the fight around me and doing my job. The tank in place should have ample abilities to keep the mob on himself and unless I'm going completely buckwild with 2Hr Sekkanokis, I shouldn't pull (this is vastly simplified from what I really mean, but just an example). I could go into further detail about various other flaws I see, but that goes beyond the scope of my response.
