Help on Machinist?

[Bourne_Endeavor]

Crying over the community rep's reply to a bard newb question? I'm sorry 15 months of a busted class with no actual sign or acknowledgement of the job's problem from the creative team and pointing that out and pointing out the inequality of that when so many other jobs have had their concerns addressed isn't crying.. it's trying to raise awareness. Were Dark Knights crying when they blew up the forums about their jobs problems? Were black mages when they asked for their buffs? Were bards when they asked for a battle voice tool tip to be edited? it's kinda disappointing to see this kind of disrespect by saying the machinist community who is struggling to have their voices heard and whom are being willfully ignored by the creative time is crying over that fact. They have every reason to be frustrated and tilted about it.

It is when you hijack every thread even those entirely unrelated to Machinist. This is, what, the third thread where a bunch of Machinists have come in and whined. We have a player looking for advice and instead of being directed on how to play Machinist, they're being told "lol it sucks. Play something else." For one, Machinist may be in a bad spot, but it's far from Samurai or Black Mage 4.1. They weren't even in the running for a meta spot. Dark Knights and Black Mages didn't jump into threads not related to their issues and bitch. In fact, Dark Knights kept to a single thread they bumped repeatedly. And what do you know, they got some attention. Same with Black Mages. The only time they complained is, ironically, when people kept telling them to play Summoner. Funny how that goes.

Machinists have every right to be frustrated. No one is denying that. But we have someone actually wanting advice on Machinist and they're getting caught up in a drama war they likely have no idea about. All this does is tell the community reps to ignore you. They don't necessarily respond to every thread saying, "we're passing this along." They may, however, still read these forums. Evidently, if they're around, posting. They aren't going to if it becomes spam. All you do is hurt yourself.
