As an MMO, there is an expectation to add onto it more in the future, and if they don't, a lot of people will be upset even though Dragoon is in such a good, enjoyable state. That said, Dragoon is one of the few jobs where the design team seems to respect its more complex nuances rather than see them as imperfections to be cleansed. While I'm not 100% confident that it will be a success, I have more confidence in Dragoon's rework turning out as a positive more than I have confidence in the Astrologian rework for example, or most other jobs that need adjustment getting the proper changes.
It's nice to see some positivity for a change, but devs have a terrible history with reworks, which is why everyone is so afraid. They postponed AST and DRG reworks after insane backlash from Kaiten, which tells me that they themselves don't believe that their past plans on 6.3 reworks were good enough in a first place and same thing as with 6.1 SAM would happen again. So in good scenario, they'll actually put in some effort and DRG will get actually good rework in 7.0. In a bad scenario, they just delayed the release of the original 6.3 rework, just to wait for people to cooldown after SAM rework. Considering that SAM is still hollow shell of its past self a year later, I fear that radio silence and hoping that players will forget became their tactic.
