Yet another SMN thread: SMN is the only job that doesn't have a gauge/proc management

[Semirhage]

Perhaps the timer juggling sort of skill expression isn't that individual's cup of tea either?

But it's regardless fascinating to me that the people absolutely certain that skill expression is a Very Bad Thing are always, without fail, the people who never interact with it. The skill ceiling, the content that demands it, none of it. They just have Very Strong Opinions that YOU shouldn't be allowed to learn how to play a job with more skill than ten minutes on a training dummy will teach.

To which I continue to reply: nobody's forcing you to improve at this video game. But the demand that nobody be allowed to get better than you is very, very telling.

It's actually mindboggling. I don't understand how this even remotely hurts anyone, and besides, every other job is plenty populated by people who don't want to do high end content, you don't see them complaining about this.
