The dev team did a fantastic job on the MNK rework. I love it.

2. Have you? I do not remember the narrative that Monk players were part of 'an elite', it was most likely a case of, if you do not like positionals, play something else, which is the same as, if you don't like cast times, don't play a mage, if you don't want to worry about defensive rotations, don't play a tank etc.

You have to remember that the people who truly believe old monk players were part of some self styled "elite" group are also the same people who think the thing that allegedly makes them "elite" (hitting positionals regularly) are also the same people who think that said positionals are also irrelevant/boring/unrewarding/too easy. Ultimately, "elites" in this case aren't actually special beyond their willingness to engage with the game's mechanics and their enjoyment of it, but it's easier for players like Sqwall and Navnav to discount other people's opinions by otherising them first. When they get it thrown back in their faces, they play victim. This has been going on for a while.

People like Navnav aren't being rude over discussions of the job or the game's mechanics because one day, the "elites" were rude to him first. He does what he does because he's a troll. You're trying to hold a discussion with a dude who claimed that Dancers shouldn't be doing damage, and that healers should "only heal", among other things.
