Compiled SAM threads against 6.1 changes / Kaiten removal

[Martynek]

Maybe the trolls have a point. Kaiten was useless bloat.
Sens are also useless bloat. I mean, you're just gonna use them all in the same way anyway, who cares. Remove them.
Kenki gauge too, well you're always gonna expend it in the same way. Might as well remove it.
Get rid of all but one of the combos as well. You're always gonna have your buffs up, who cares, this is just lowering the skill floor!
Might as well get rid of the cooldowns, you were just gonna press them whenever possible. Artificial complexity!

When does it stop? Will every job that the developers don't personally play end up becoming White Mage?

Meanwhile, at SE: "Do white mages really need a DOT? Let's remove that."

And truly, WHO is this pleasing? (annoying trolls don't count) If the entire game goes to a single player focus, I would STILL want a more in depth class. I'd still want it to be interesting, to feel FULL. I'd want Kaiten. I don't want a class to be easier so I can get into high end content, which I don't really want to do anyway. I want to enjoy my rotations, my abilities, the FEEL of the class, in every single thing I do.

I don't want single player games to be dumbed down, either.

Bring back Kaiten! I don't want to feel - as someone brilliantly said here somewhere - like I've somehow forgotten my soul crystal!

Players who don't want to learn to press 2 DPS buttons but still want to perform on the same level as people who can clear enrages in minimum ilvl savage.

Will they actually go play savage when optimal DPS will require zero braincells? No.

Speaking for myself, if I had only 2 buttons to push, I'd still manage to get killed by something, so I think those players hope in vain. Also, I'd prefer to make myself better rather than the game simpler. But I know you're right. Sad, but true!
