We Don't Need New Jobs

[Deceptus]

I can when they whine at a Dev team who are already having to stretch themselves out across 18 jobs to balance and define.

It's SE's / FFXIV's own fault that they've had almost the exact same battle design team since ARR. They are adding new jobs every expansion and aren't adding staff to support them.

They don't even have enough designers to have a developer dedicated to each role. They only have 3.

They have a manager, 3 designers, and I think they got an intern / assistant somewhere in Stormblood or Shadowbringers.

The team are simply too thinly stretched to give it the attention and time that it needs. Thus we end up with the last minute knee jerk changes that are riddled with flaws and shortcomings. This isn't even a new thing. Every single expansion has landed with glaring problems afflicting at least one of the healer jobs.

They said healers, but multiple jobs have had extremely glaring issues almost every single expansion. MNK for 5 years, Healers for 5 years, 2.0 Warrior, 3.0 Bow Mage, 5.0 RDM Terrible Mana management, the list goes on.
