Results of a reddit job satisfaction poll

[Elladie]

I have polled a section of the player community - namely folks in my FC, folks in my hunt linkshell, cross world linkshell, people of my friends list, folk on the various XIV discords - and the only complaints about jobs I received were that SMN is too busy and DNC relies too much on getting procs. When I say 'polled', I mean I asked if they had any complaints about the jobs they mained, already a loaded question. Obviously i didn't get 2000 odd replies - more like 200 - but most who replied said they were having fun with their jobs. Some healers - myself included - are actually happy with the healer changes because the last thing we want or need is a complex DPS rotation.

Please don't presume that because a sample on Reddit/these forums are unhappy with some changes, that's in any way representative of the general opinion. As Iscah says, a poll conducted by SE that selected players at random - or even by number based on different criteria such as 200 from different regions, 200 long term players, 200 sprouts, 200 returners etc etc etc - is far more likely to be unbiased (Because it isn't taking data from a specified, single group of people) than either mine or the Reddit one

Actually, most seem fairly satisfied if you look at the actual results of the poll. Remember OP of this thread is simply making couple interpretations and assumptions based on the data. Monk is the only job with below half (2.4/5) score. Scholar is 2nd least satisfied job and has 2.9/5 score.

Some here seem to just assume the poll results are vastly negative towards the current game, perhaps without looking at the actual poll.
