In this case the sentence is actually appropriate and the dev team has followed through on the promise before.

Read up on the 2.0 -> 2.1 Warrior changes if you want proof.

Don't be fooled by the SMN changes.

It's literally a 5% DPS increase.

What ever gave you that impression? Ixion spawned every 72 hours in the same spot where people just camped for hours on end. There was never anything special nor rare about the mount. They changed it so people would stop camping.

More people seemed to acknowledge my clearly detailed posts over yours. Yes, it was making a point. I'm sorry you only have one game. I'll be happy to buy you another. Since I actually DO have a job, I didn't even notice the 8 hours downtime. I was working.

You say you work but with ALL those classes allegedly at 70, I wonder.

Also, I noticed you said you don't take a Machinist into any "real content." Doesn't that mean there IS an issue with the class that needs addressing? Otherwise, you know, you would have.

"In order to accompany Patch 4.06, we will be performing infrastructure maintenance during which FINAL FANTASY XIV will be unavailable."

Now if you'd read up, you'd know that the patch itself has nothing to do with this longer than usual maintenance.

I don't expect much from what seems small emergency fixes. I take comfort in this:

• An issue wherein the summoner action “Summon Bahamut” could not be activated under certain conditions.

Shocked when it happened first time, more than few especially hunt ranks can -dodge- summon bahamut.
Worst part is failing the skill will remove the summon state which is impossible because it's not damage or target related.

While I understand that it wasn't "rare" per se.... many people went through frustration to camp it for 2 horns a pop. It's weird but hey I'm an Ixion fan.

I understand that the "major balancing changes" are in 4.1. However SMN is currently an inconvenience to play, no matter how many ways you slice it. I don't play BLM and I only have 54 RDM. I have every job capped eventually but that doesn't mean it sees a party situation, less played ones are just to see their job storyline. But I digress. Solo play sucks, plain and simple. Egis can't live against mobs long at all when there's no heals. Being a mage type class, punches to the face are not a strong defense point. Your pet dies, better get to running in circles until it dies from dots/ruin II. I have other dps jobs to play but being chased out of one due to the nerf wrecking ball is not fun.

So they just increased the rewards from Ixion fate. I already have 6 of the horns, need to do 1 more run to get my Ixion horn. I'll look into it...
