Compiled SAM threads against 6.1 changes / Kaiten removal

Looks at your Main Class... " Samurai "
Glances over total posts... " 1 "

This hits me at another level... Feels like only yesterday that I made a forum account purely to make my 1st ever forum post for the same exact reason, I miss Kaiten as well...

I'm grateful to those who came in here, loathing forums (God knows, I hate them all with the white-hot intensity of 1000 suns) - and who stick around to make sure it's not forgotten. I have a friend who posted once, decided it was futile and didn't come back to post again - and hasn't touched Samurai since. There are probably many who did the same.

I'm still *displeased* that they so specifically requested feedback, and then said NOTHING after it was overwhelmingly delivered.

That said, I understand forums are whiny, disgruntled over pretty much everything. (though unlike some, I don't feel the need to correct them or tell them how wrong they are to be displeased - that takes a special kind of troll.) So I get why it might take awhile to realize this may be a bit more than the typical whining. I'm finally taking my Lala-Samurai to 90 - I'd put it off with hope, but I'm down to my last 2, and I decided I don't want to finish on something that makes me sad, so it's dragoon to finish instead. I was lucky to take my bunny-Sam while Kaiten still lived.

It's so depressing! So flat, so hollow, so EMPTY. I miss my methodical flourish, that sense there's an art behind the samurai job. I love jobs that seem like they're just flinging themselves into it - but that wasn't the Samurai. They were artists. Now they're just bored, depressed - ex-artists who now do bad art in malls...
