The general direction of job changes is straight asinine. Literally NO ONE benefits.

At this point, it's plain obvious you guys COMPLETELY lost the plot.

We can all understand you guys have a massive influx of new players and wants to make game/content accessible.

However, you guys mistook for making the game accessible to making the game dumb and boring. You want to lower the FLOOR, not the CEILING.

This is why we have a forum absolutely filled with pissed off players. Anyone who is dedicated and likes your game are pissed off. SMN, NIN, SAM, MCH are not happy. MNK has been pissed off for months already. Look over to the other forum. You are bleeding healers. Every DC is literally bottlenecked on Healers. WTF do you think is that?

And casuals? The people you guys are supposedly pandering to? Those people who don't spend time optimising? Here's the kick. THEY DON'T CARE. They don't use DPS meters. They don't know the damage difference. It doesn't do shit. They are not going to say "Oh yay, my damage increased by x% because now I don't have to do y".

You're right....I don't use DPS meters...i'm on PS5. And yet....I can still play competently and pass current relevant content.

We have a SMN and MCH in our static raid, from what they say (I can't see the numbers...again PS5), that our MCH is the top DPS in our static. He seems to thoroughly enjoy the job and he has been playing it for almost 4 years. The SMN decided to main the job simply because it was IDK....better to play now? "It's not a janky mess anymore.", his words. And I agree.

MNK players that I have played with have warmed up to the new MNK (myself included), and I'm am actually curious about it so I ask them in party chat. "Hey, you like MNK now?" It's always the same answer. "At first it sucked and I was upset about the changes. But after I relearn all the muscle memory the job is stupid fun!"

Healers in my static have never complained about DPSing. In fact they literally compete over who does the most DPS, and I just shake my head. That's like saying I just don't want to be last....or 2nd to last.
