My Eulogy for Machinist

[CKNovel]

Looking at the numbers, the majority of players thinks that way. That kind of ingame metric is what the devs look at, not the forums, thankfully.

It's so much the majority Yoshida had to mention complexity and reassure players that Reaper wasn't a easy job.
Jobs should be balanced for high-end content players, not dungeon players.

Reason is simple, if you play your job like crap, no one will care in dungeons.
You can get through the MSQ by binding 1 GCD to your hotbar and spamming it. Which is how I picture casuals scared about a few extra buttons.

BLM and GNB wouldn't exist if they only listened to casuals.
Even then, you can just play Ice Mage if BLM is too complex for you.
