It may be useless to you, with a bunch of R20+ jobs, but for the people who still trickle into the game, it can be a big help. I doubt the maintenance is strictly for this update, and since there was going to be downtime, I see no problem with throwing in a few tweaks... particularly if it helps some part of the FFXIV population.

Not everything has to be about you, ya know. (And that's aimed not so much at the person I'm quoting, but anyone who's bothering to complain.) How cares? It helped someone.
