Current SMN has no core mechanics, doesn't have downsides to its braindead rotation and does high damage regardless. Of course it's going to be played a lot.
Tbh being so aggressive about it doesn't help your cause because it makes you look very biased. You can call it braindead as much as you want but there are players like me that genuinely enjoy the new SMN, and reading some of the comments you guys almost make it like one should be ashamed of such thing, it's ridiculous.

But on topic... what do you propose we take into account to measure whether people are happy with the new SMN or not? I used the FFlogs savage parsing because to me, it looked like it could be at the very least, slightly indicative? What should we go by instead? Because "There are a lot of people that are unhappy with the new SMN" sort of comments doesn't sound like it could be used to make an accurate representation of peoples' satisfaction with the new SMN right? And all I see in this thread are the same couple dozen users bumping each other for the same cause.

Now, you have every right to not like the new SMN, but for instance, I had to swallow ARR, HW, SB and ShB iterations of SMN and to me they were absolutely unedible, and in none of those I remember myself making this much noise, and I disliked the old SMN with passion and thematically it's my favorite job.

Say 75% of the job like the new SMN, but 25% dislike it a lot. What's the solution here?
