They actually implemented the change I been saying on here for ages. I can't believe they actually done it. I did say that bootshine and dragon kick should keep them instead of demolish and snap punch, but this is even better!
This is truly the best change of the whole xpac, i am honestly gleeming, as i'm sure maaaaaaany others are too. Don't get it twisted here the forums are the vocal minority. Most players hated the monk because of the positionals on all skills. 2 or so like others would be fine, but not every GCD. It was essentially always a design flaw, in terms of attraction from all kinds of players. Dragoon would always have more players than monk, not because of aesthetics, but because of positionals.

Dragoon has a few positionals, but yet people still play it. Think about that when you selfishly just want the class to be gate kept by the vocal minority.

Positionals will always be arbitrary busy work, that don't add nothing but a placebo effect to think you are doing something you can do without them, which is move left and right. I mean lol, c'mon people you should know better by now. At least square understand they are simply outdated arbitrary busy work. Now Monk has actual engaging (somewhat) mechanics, they simply DO NOT NEED the positionals. End of.
so on fflogs checking total number of parses, monk is 2nd from the bottom on trials and 3rd from the bottom on dungeons. 2/3 of the positionals have been removed, but it's still at the bottom in terms of people playing it. curious what the excuse is now that people aren't playing it since you seem to think it was the positionals
