How do you know what the changes are, let alone where SQEX got the ideas from?

Are you implying you know what the actual changes are? Time to spill the beans popoto!!

No, but the person I was quoting seems to and I'm confused.

I'm referring to suggestions and ideas I've posted in the past that have made it in game, you're welcome to search my name but be warned it goes back 10 years. I have no clue what they are playing and that is what has me worried. I know Egi design is a hot button because I've seen it posted over and over and over for the past 8 years.

Mr. Happy put out a video with a brief interview with YoshiP and the topic of Egi glam was asked.

Naoki Yoshida:
Currently summoner as a job is reaching somewhat of a breaking point when it comes to the overall play mechanics, so we’ve halted work on Egi glamour for the time being in order to shift focus. There is a reason behind this, but we can’t share the details with you at the moment. When the time comes, I’ll be sure to properly share that information with everyone.

I mean... I've been saying this (and got flamed for it) for quite a while now, that they didn't shed any news on the topic like an ETA because they are reworking - heavily - SMN, and implementing a glamour system would be wasted work if 1 expansion later everything changed.

This statement near-confirms this. Not saying that Egis are going to be removed altogether, but I really suspect the way they function will be nothing like they do nowadays..

I read this differently I guess. I'm taking it as they have too many "systems" on SMN that just didn't work in 5.0 like they hoped and I agree with that. You have Trance, Demi, Egi, DoT, Aetherflow... It was just too much to try and keeping piling one of top of the other which is what they tried to do. I don't think it was too much though, just not revamped to work well with each other. But's I'll say that if you remove pets from a pet job, the forums will erupt with very negative feedback.

Oh...
So you don't actually have a way to verify SQEX is taking your feedback then.
Dang.

No, sadly SE doesn't believe in players actually Beta testing a job for the drop the ball on us so to speak.

God though what if.
Having Beta test realms...
...maybe for their next MMO : /
I don't go there, but do FF11 or Dragon Quest Online have public beta testing?

FFXI didn't/doesn't. Not sure about DQ Online because for some odd reason it never left Japan but I doubt it.
