doom and gloom

why do most people automatically assume the worst when new class/skill info is released??

why not atleast wait n try the new changes first b4 u complain about how bad "insert class here" is

Because internet.

Because most of us have prior experience with SE that qualifies us to make better guesses at how things will actually be implemented.

"new info released, time to complain on the forums"

I'm excited for everything but Healers (which sound like they're being homogenized...) and Summoner. Think I'm just going to give up on Summoner.

Because everyone thinks they're better at designing games than people actually designing games. Except, they haven't a clue how to design anything, so instead they just whine about it.

sadly this is true lol

If part of the "exciting" new changes to your main are drawbacks and questionable utility, while everyone else gets no drawbacks and cool new things that match their role. how the hell do you think I should respond?

I'll admit I have some doom and gloom myself. I wanted Chi Blast on Monk (along with several other changes) and there was no mention of a ranged attack at all.
Every player has their own expectations about which way the game direction should be going, and it's quite easy to feel let down when things don't go your way.
It should be a blessing that we get sneak previews like this. It's not a good thing for some people though. I think some people would be better off not hearing about any of the changes in advance at all.
"Try it before you knock it" is a fair argument. We do have to wait and see. It's less than a month away, but that is going to be a month of hell for some people eagerly awaiting this!

Everyone seems to be hating on the SMN changes because they didn't get new egis. Nevermind the fact that the job itself needed some heavy reworking so it actually played like it was fun. But no, we have to get mad about pets, pets we would have been probably forced to choose one of or ignore alltogether (all hail garuda egi).

I'm pleased that they improved the actual playstyle of the job, and i will enjoy taking on Bahamut's power and casting Ahk Morn on all ya faces.
