I think you’re just at the point I was when the rework was revealed. I spotted the red flags with the Avatars using the Resummon mechanic immediately. The micro phases were just an extra layer of padding on top of that.

I’ve since moved on to NIN (which I am enjoying), but I do miss the old versions of Summoner dearly. None were perfect but most were better. I don’t think this rework has any staying power so I’m not surprised by the lack of feedback from SE. They’re probably just as torn as we are. We need to actually get a video out on the nitty gritty technical details and why they’re a problem if we’re going to get useful changes in the long run. In the short term (within this expansion) it’s just going to suck. And it absolutely has good reasons to be held in check unless SE nerfs those aspects out of relevance.
