The kit was suited for Savage raiding or for more casual, social content. There was pretty much nothing I wanted changing about it.

I wouldn't mind if they kept the seals, replaced Expanded with something else, and moved its effect into Divination, though.

Hell, I've switched my main away from AST, but the changes still haunt me; whenever I get a Spear when playing MNK, I have a brief rush of excitement before realising that the card isn't actually going to make my rotation more fun by opening chakras, and I feel disappointed by AST again. I can't escape!
The only thing I want to keep of the new system is the deterministic nature of Lord/Lady. Just I want them with the old effects. Having an oGCD attack or oGCD heal I can pull from the cards is nice, especially when I know I will get them when I minor them.
