They also have to play test it all to make sure it all works as intended, and is still balanced, and they have more people to find flaws in these ideas where one person acting on their own can easily overlook them.

Except they've literally said that they don't know what to do with monk. It's never been a case of them being unable to make up their minds because they have a plethora of ideas for the job.
Also "play test it all"? They arguably don't play test monk at all. Skill canceling in ARR, TFC clipping with GL3 in HW, TK Rotation in SB, Combos not receiving the timer increase because of forms. If they have an entire team testing, they sure do a piss poor job of it.

If SE doesn't change monk next expansion it's because they are too stubborn to listen to the fan base. I WAS a monk main until recently, but I could not play the job in its recent state. It's just too unrewarding. When ninja is looking so interesting and fast-paced with a super-strong opener and of course trick attack <3, or Sam who IMO has a very good kit of skills and hits like a truck and finally Dragoon that is a job that is still a very cool and badass job to play. Then there is monk...a super fast-paced job with no identity, that is super easy to mess up rotation, with 6 positionals, best-looking skill is locked away ... It needs help. It needs a complete revamp and if SE can't deal with it maybe they should hire someone who can.
