Back in August, Yoshida said they'd release the class change info when 1.19 went live so they could monitor player feedback to help determine their direction.

A month-and-a-half later, they release the information we're supposed to discuss in two parts and present the bulk of it stripped of some key information.

To the OP's point, if they want us to provide constructive feedback then they need to provide specific information. Not "LNC ABL X: Use TP to Absorb HP." that's not enough for us to go on. It's easy to make assumptions about how these abilities will work, but if we're assuming the wrong thing or our concerns ate answered by the abilities they didn't bother to show then our time spent departing in any capacity is wasted.

And that's how it's been, and will be as we get closer to 2.0 and the changes get more and more drastic. There's nothing wrong with asking SE to be more clear with the information they do provide. SE has come a long way , especially since the early days of XI. But XIV is a different matter altogether given that we don't know if the game we enjoy now will be the same game after any given patch until 2.0 sets certain aspects in stone.
And yet the community has proven it can do little else than bicker about what color mounts should be. Why would any company intent on turning a profit ask this community what it should do with the game?
SE is an international multimillion dollar company and it got that way making video games. I think it understands a little better what goes into making a game that sells than people with My Little Pony in their signatures.
I'm not saying SE is perfect because this game is a mess currently but I don't think asking this board what they should do will help pick up the pieces in the slightest.
You yourself admit all this board can do is bicker about details so who cares what anyone has to say?
Do you really think SE posting their master plan for this game will prevent people from whining about chocobo breeding or catboys?
