Are you freaking kidding me!? He is SO stuck in his own argument that he cannot even acknowledge that the job will eventually change even if takes a level cap increase to do it. Yet he keeps responding pretending like i am wasting my time suggesting ideas for the future. Have you any of you ever considered that OTHER JOBS WILL CHANGE? That OTHER JOBS will get new ways to play? As a result summoner may very have to change to KEEP UP?Summoner currently is a DD job....how many DD jobs will change due to a level cap increase?You want more DOT from 51-60? Really?
Of course those jobs will change. They have to, thanks to MUDflation and the perception of strength. This does not mean SE is going to fundamentally redesign all the classes, it means in addition to adding gear, they're going to add new skills and traits inline with the class's design. Summoners are a DoT + pet class, we'll get additional egis, probably level 3 of all spells, and some a few new additional Aetherflow abilities. They're not going to go hog wild because it will simply be too much. Why do you think Blizzard in WoW 6.0 is removing skills?

his is the fundamental truth none of you seem to grasp. Even if my ideas are overpowered when in tandem with each other you seem to think that none of my ideas would hold water individually. You seem to think that if you embarrass me enough or discredit me enough or whatever the hell is going through your minds when you write your posts that somehow even if i do start to make sense that due to the fact that i made prior mistakes all my future ideas will be garbage? I am sorry but NO. Not for a second. Not even a little bit.

You are all acting WAY more selfish than me on just about every level that it is sickening. Many of you seem to think that you have to reply to my posts, and if i don't understand your logic then there must be something that is wrong with me...not the other way around. I honestly feel like i am being bullied by a group of people who want to rebel against all forms of authority whatsoever and that they have the "too cool for school" mentality. None of them would ever be caught doing something that isn't "Cool". Just like none of you would be caught discussing anything i say from a perspective that discusses the PRO's and CON's of my ideas since you insist on not taking my ideas seriously. You don't want the ideas to have any merit so you avoid even talking about them in any meaningful way. You only talk about the con's.
The problem is that you have to prove you understand why the summoner in FFXIV is a "DoT+pet" class. The designers have given very explicit reasons why this is so, from mechanics to lore. All of your ideas fly in the face of that, solely so you can have an FFXI style summoner.

Seriously, stop posting on this thread. Just stop. This is a discussion about class design in video game forum. If you're this emotional over it, you need to stop posting. Unless you're working for Square or are involved in game design, it's not worth it. It's fun yes, but I think you need to get away for a little while.
