MCH (a mostly positive viewpoint )

if u enjoy MCH then keep playing MCH, i am pretty sure MCH will get good buff in the future.

People can be very short sighted with their "main" choices when it's purely influenced by their place in the meta. Buffs and nerfs happen as a natural MMO ebb and flow- people just seem to have it in their head that certain classes will always be god tier and others will always be low tier which seldom is the case.

I'd be more inclined to agree with this if it weren't for the fact that SB decided to (again) change job identity a bit. Monk, for instance, was a sustained single target dps machine, but that now goes to SAM.
If you speak purely from a performance perspective, MNK is probably better off now that in HW, being very competitive in terms of efficiency.
But I can understand that someone who poured their passion into mastering a job with a certain identity might feel turned off that it suddenly changes. Especially if they loved both aesthetics and identity (or, worse, grew fond of the aesthetics due to the identity).
MCH lost utility, SMN lost aoe power, BLM lost single target power- in fact, most of the "happy people" seem to be from jobs that retained this gameplay core identity.

When you invest this heavily into something (and MMOs are all about that), you get attached. And when the thing you loved changes this much so suddenly... yea...
