I've played a Monk in every Final Fantasy game I've ever played. In FFXI, it was one of the best classes. (Speaking of a game that actually requires skill - that would be it). That's why I want to play it, but not while it's in the garbage heap. I play every job because I enjoy knowing the different aspects of each role in order to better fulfill mine in a party. It's pretty selfish of you to just care about the job's current build because you like it while completely disregarding the overwhelmingly popular belief that the job needs reworked because others want to play it/others who have played it don't like it.
So my answer to you is this: if you don't like MNK after the rework, don't play it. Play something else.
It's that simple, right?

(Gee, it's almost like Monk needed to be completely re-imagined in order for people to want to play it. It must sting to know that you play one of the worst classes.)
