From Yoshida himself

[Ayer2015]

Don't really need to add anymore then that do I?

Truer words were never spoken.
I was watching a random streamer out of boredom last night, and they were like "The FF14 community seems really demanding". From what I see on the forums lately.... I have to agree,

Ya, I mean it's cool to speculate and remark on the issues but if anyone paid attention to the changes they already commented on WHM, it does help with the situation. The biggest issue with the WHM we saw was how RNG the lillies were to obtain. By making Cure 2 100% it gives the WHM more control to spend more MP curing to get lillies out and use them more often. The iteration we saw felt more like a to good to use situation but the 100% activation rate with Cure 2 allows WHM to be more fast and loose with using up their lillies without having to be worried about getting lucky enough to gain them.

No.

White Mages, Summoners, and every other disgruntled job need to raise hell in the streets until our demands are met.

[Vespar]

I agree. (not sure if you were expounding on my comment or thought I was in some way disagreeing with you)

Expounding. Expanding? However you say it XD
I'm in agreement.

Expounding. Expanding? However you say it XD
I'm in agreement.

Haha cool Just wanted to make sure!

[AlexanderThorolund]

He's absolutely right. At the time people were reacting like they had seen the final build of the game. It was a media tour build unfinished. I feel so much for Yoshida

[Dualgunner]

I think a lot of the freakout is from boredom waiting for Stormblood. I know I've spent a ton more time on the forums recently because I want Stormblood badly lol

[Felis]

No.

White Mages, Summoners, and every other disgruntled job need to raise hell in the streets until our demands are met.

Before or after early access?

[Dyvid]

To be fair, we can blame him for this mess. The reply to these changes is "It'll make sense once you play the game." Why didn't Yoshi-P talk more about the changes to the content rather than changes to the jobs?

[Keramory]

Basically people been criticising stuff before it's final release.

That's like walking into a restaurant, storming into the kitchen and eating the food before it's even cooked and complaining that the food is bad.

Not exactly. Using the same example what really happened is the chef gave you something to taste, you tasted it and it was nasty... and the chef got defensive and said it wasn't finished yet.

Don't get me wrong, I don't agree with the absolute insanity of the players reactions. However if they didn't want feedback, they shouldn't have shown us what they did. Unless they DID want feedback, we gave it... and now made changes to it because of the feed back. Who's to say whm wouldn't have stayed that way if we were completely quiet
