Massive fail by Matsui - telling melee range to suck it up for not getting invites

[Murugan]

Is this all you do now?

As a melee it is fine. There are ways to avoid the worst effects of AOE's. This is a typical problem of melee in MMO's and there have been many solutions developed for it. I can see why you would bring it up as another "catastrphe in FFXIV", being that doing this is your apparent calling in life, however as a melee it does not bother me for these reasons:

1. Positioning
2. Jousting
3. Stoneskin
4. Self Heal
5. Stunnable/interuptable AOE's
6. The ability to reduce TP gain of a mob

Because these mechanics are also part of FFXIV, I see no serious issue with AOE's as a melee.

All I see in Matsui's post is a promise to boost melee damage which is awesome, as for the rest thank god, THANK GOD that he is not interested in doing away with every single challenging boss mechanic simply because some people are overreacting and crying wolf before they bother to seek simple solutions to their problems themselves.
