How do you think you'd have felt? If the majority was saying they wanted the ShB dumbing down changes, and you were arguing to just leave one Healer - not even caring which - untouched by it.

I don't think many of you understand that, but it shouldn't be hard to.

Not to mention the game would be better today had such concerns been listened to. If SCH had persisted in its SB incarnation all the way up to now, that is.

At least, I think so.
This response amuses me because you are acting as thought almost every single person in this conversation other than you *hasn't* already had their preferred job/playstyle on the chopping block before, and seen it taken out. Sometimes more than once! We've all been there.

But for the record I was saying that based on the actions they have taken ever since yoshida took over as director of 14 way back during the dark ages of... what was it, 1.10? whenever it was post launch, that "preserving what we had before" does not really been to be a major concern when they're deciding if they should change any given thing or not. *I* personally know it sucks seeing the thing you enjoy most getting tossed out sucks, but like, I can recognize that the devs and the players aren't always thinking about these sorts of things the same way, or giving them the same relevance. Especially with as spread thin as the design team is.
