Yoshi's Comment on Future Job Design - Are Jobs

[Larirawiel]

I swear, I've never seen a game with such an extreme amount of homogenization. Literally every job plays the same and is based on the same core mechanics. Every raid/dungeon is cookie-cutter design from previous raids. New content isn't even new anymore because you've played it in a different skin before.

The game design has completely gone down the drain. There's no uniqueness. Everything IS the same, and everything PLAYS the same.

Because it is what most players demand.

Who are these "most players"? Where is this poll or survey or whatever way they express themselves to tell the Devs to butcher the shit out of the game and any diversity there is?

Are they next to the big bad boogie man raider?

Look in the job forums. You will find many threads like: the b-barses show that if boss X spawns some adds and there is a bard in the group and my ping is at 34 ms and outside of my flat the sun shines and the Venus, Mars and Jupiter form a line then MY job makes 0,24% less DPS than job Y. And this proves that MY job is unplayable since patch 5732.4. Yoshi-P please fix it now!

And they "fixed" it by erasing literary every difference between the jobs, reducing them to rotations.

Nice claim. From where do you have the data to support this claim?

As far as I'm concerned, this is the direction the devs themselves have chosen.
