What are your thoughts on FFXIV's combat?

[Shurrikhan]

Are you seriously implying that a job redesign is a bad choice because SE lacks the skill to create fun and unique designs?

Hell of a strawman there.

I'm saying we've a long enough history of Monkey's Paw outcomes --many from, but not limited to, job redesigns-- to know better at this point than to write a blank check, and asking for "change" without a single pointer as to the direction is just asking for a worse outcome.

Things are bad enough when specifics are given and half of them ignored or gaslit by the devs. Imagine giving free rein to that all while providing the necessary excuse: "We've done what was asked, to its full specifications."



For instance, the changes in direction I'd like to see are fairly radical, but I'm (therefore) not about to neglect that the burden therefore lies with me to suggest how and why their results may be preferable despite their costs, and that I should seek to convince and/or compromise non-reductively with fellow players first.
