SE better do something or the game will drop dead

I don't think that his point was about your 24 posts, but because in these 24 posts you were crying about aspects. I don't know about your posts but hey, keep suggesting =)

Also, I would call it an issue of Balance more than Add/Remove actions. Do you remember before 1.20? There were classes that were better than others just because they had better skills that did more damage than other classes. Remember when the caster was entitled with the role of Healer instead of having the choice of being a Damage Dealer? Also the Pugilist wasn't seen good either. Everybody was focusing on having 4 Lancers/Archers, 1 Gladiator/Marauder and 3 Conjurers in order to have the best out of their parties.
Now it's totally different. Even a Pugilist can fight Ifrit, and that's good, every class should be able to experience any content.
We'll have even more actions when Jobs will come, so look forward to it!

So there was an issue of skill placement. That didn't mean "take away half of every classes skills, limit how much mix and matching can be done and then add those removed skills back into the job system".

I'm still skeptical if that was really a wise choice. I do like the idea of streamlining skills for efficiency, but narrowing our roles down to being practically niche isn't good at all.

It doesn't matter how much you try to balance, there will always be exploits. That's the beauty of customization, you're rewarded for finding unique ways to excel above other players.

Look at what Blizzard constantly balancing WoWs classes down to the point of blandness did for the game. It's a dead end road to travel on.

I will agree that certain classes being almost worthless was completely unacceptable tho and needed addressing. I just hope they don't get carried away with a balancing obsession like Blizzard did.
