In 4.0 can we please get rid of caster bars on physical ranged jobs?!

Were you upset when you learned FFXIV would have a jump button?

Actually, I can recall there being talk of people genuinely upset that they were adding jumping into 2.0....

Oh, I remember that saltstorm fondly. People started losing their minds in regards to jumping. Threats to leave, doomsayers proclaiming it'll kill the game, that it'll only invite the worst kind of people. Of course this was par for the course in 1.x when all the changes were slowly being thrown in. Hell, there was even a fallout when they started clearing up the momentum with walking/running, lol.

To be honest, I never noticed much of the jumping around like an idiot bards that people mention.. BUT that could be because I was 'the' bard for our static/raid group, and I was pretty grounded. (pun intentional)

As for WM.. I don't know.. I am getting the feeling that any changes now would be detrimental. Damage is done.. we'll probably just have to live with it.

That's because it rarely existed, if even at all. It's just the catch-all justification people use to have whatever opinion, whether they've actually seen this jackalope or not. But you're right, Bard is a shambled amalgamation of a job that just barely managed to get footing after it was beaten with the tinker bat enough times. One more swing could either miraculously set everything into place or collapse the entire thing.

I would be one of the bards that jumped around and ran around a lot depending on what I was doing. For example when my brd was level 58 and I got in to Satasha in a leveling roulette with basically no buttons to hit at all, I'd get so bored I'd start jumping and attacking to amuse myself because after getting used to the more difficult buttons, suddenly being without 90% of my attacks left me really bored.

After you're stuck casting and suddenly have all that freedom again, can't help but feel compelled to stretch those legs out. Also, it's Sastasha; nobody cares what goes on during Sastasha. I've literally gone through Sastahsa as a MNK using one hand and sometimes a foot while I ate pizza and watched anime. Had a SCH /follow me once while I was leveling WAR and told me they're taking a nap. But this argument stemmed way when HW first released and WM just being discovered, where apparently in important dungeons every Bard in the game was on crack and needing a to scratch their brain so bad they needed to smash it against the ceiling, or run from the purple gremlins trying to steal their dps. Maybe since I mained Bard during 2.x I just didn't realize it was happening as there must have been some talent that made me on crack as well.
