Samurai changes are unacceptable in the current iteration

[Roxus]

I can't sleep because I'm pissed off.

Let me tell you guys a secret - the changes today weren't to address our concerns, it was to widen the gap between meme rotation and normal rotation so it's no longer viable. But knowing SE's approach, they probably even failed at that.

I'll summarize the reaction so far in JP: Where is the communication? Did you read the forums? Loss of faith in the developers, saying goodbyes. A lot are convinced this was to tell us to shut up. There is a joke about this game lasting another 10 years at this rate. There's been a lot of pages made saying these same things. They are also aware that overseas players have the majorly shared opinion that the 6.1 changes are pure garbage.

But it doesn't stop there. CN and KR are also starting to get loud, while behind in patches, they know what's coming. Stop making adjustments for those who don't want to learn or improve. Existing users matter as much as new users.

Ah, so, these changes were entirely to make Yuki spam rotation no longer viable. That makes sense.

Good to see that the other versions of the game are now making a stink about this too. Hopefully SE will understand the major mistake they have made, walk back the 6.1 SAM changes in their entirety and then start on a path of revising EVERY OTHER JOB that has suffered like this. Deal with MCH and their issues, address the boring healer rotations, add more complexity to what tanks can do beyond what's present for a tank in a savage or ultimate boss fight; actual REAL rotational challenge instead of the race to the bottom bullshit. That final quote makes a lot of sense. They might very well see a new influx of players but they'd be abandoning some of their longest-term and most stalwart subscribers for a casual playerbase who most definitely isn't going to stick with them through the years.
