We're not talking about a simple removal of the Egi here, this is about replacing them with a full-time rotation of Demis. Emphasis on full-time, meaning there's always a Demi out.
Oh, I wouldn't want that. I want Demi to act like they do now. Having giant, permanent pets out is not fun, and resizing is no fun either.

We've already seen them "reworking" multiple Jobs and ouside of a few exceptions here and there they've simply reused whatever assets they've already had. There's no reason to believe they'd treat Summoner any differently.
So yes, it is absolutely an unrealistic expectation.
The fact that there are exceptions means it's not unrealistic. Unlikely would be a more appropriate term.

Its never fair to just take something away rather than fixing it; at least assuming it can be fixed, and i see plenty of possibilities for Summoner.
Then there should be no change ever. Someone can always like something that is taken away every time there is a change.

Sure, there are parts that could use some brush up's, I never claimed otherwise.
I just don't see the point in doing a total rework just for the sake of it. Especially since reworks tend to take resources away from other jobs that also need attention, ShB has shown that pretty clearly.
A job rework should never be just for the sake of it, and I disagree that reworking SMN to use temporary demi instead of permanent pet falls in that category.

Good thing then that Summoner already pretty much works like that.
The suggested changes would simply serve to smooth out issues with the pet-queue by aligning it with the SMNs (Egis attacking when the SMN does) and make sure the attacks are performed properly (EAs and Enkindles being ranged and targeted rather then point-blank aoes that can get executed without hitting something)
I thought SMN was too busy at the beginning of Shadowbringers and I wouldn't want a return to that.

To be clear, I believe Egi-Glamours might not be too far off.
First Yoshi mentioned a vague timeframe, and now claims he's not "at liberty" to disclose much but still felt a need to mention it, suggesting there might, at last, be something happening.
Wouldn't surprise me if the reason they implemented EAs the way they did is partially in preparation for the System.
Wether the re-do of the original Egi is in the cards I obviously can't say, but anyone who dislikes them can merrily glam them away anyway, so i don't see that as a priority.
That's fine. Different people have different priorities.
