Yoshi P in a nutshell

[LilimoLimomo]

Why would one of the most popular jobs need more accessibility?

I presume that Yoshi-P would like for even more players can enjoy it, and the more accessible it is, the more incoming players can do that. This is just my guess, but they seem to be making a big push to make the game more welcoming to casual players.

Both skill floor and ceiling is low enough anyway.

With respect, all I can say is that this is subjective. It seems like Yoshi-P disagrees with your opinion on that, though. And it makes sense that if you have different opinions on this then you'd both be in conflict over actions taken using this as the basis.

Those reasons they provided are factually incorrect. Action bloat was proven wrong, it does only change APM outside of the burst and at best, it potentially removes 1 action from burst if you pool 100 Kenki. Button bloat is community made reason, and future proofing is bad excuse, why would you remove something to make a space for new ability, that still didn't come 1.5 years later?

I don't think you can "disprove" the concept of action bloat because it's a subjective opinion. It seems like you don't feel it's a thing, but in my experience I feel like it's a major thing for all classes. I hope that as things go forward, the devs can find more elegant ways to please both camps.

What makes you think that it's small subset of players? SAM became most talked job, the "majority" argument is terrible, once again, you won't ever get all players' opinion, that's fine, you just need to learn how to extrapolate data. If this is not enough, nothing else is.

Good question, I'll explain. Forums always skew towards hardcore players, and they always skew towards players with negative opinions, which is why they shouldn't ever be treated as representative of the overall player population. It's still good to listen to the feedback there, but it's not a good way to gauge what the overall player base is feeling.

However, Yoshi-P explicitly requested that those who were displeased with the Kaiten change say so on the forums. Out of the 100,000's of players who viewed this request during the Live Letter, less than 400 thought the changes were worth answering Yoshi-P's call to action. To frame that another way, of the X00,000 viewers across Twitch and YouTube who were engaged enough with FF14 to bother watching the Live Letter, less than 0.4% of them were opposed to the change enough to say so when Yoshi-P explicitly asked them to. That's a small subset of players.

I think I'll pass on that. From people that did those, I've seen multiple that got response from other twich chatters that told them to off themselves. GCBTW.

Ugh, that sucks, I had no idea. That's terrible. I can understand not wanting to do that then.

Honestly, if EW wasn't lacking content, I probably wouldn't even be there complaining about it. I still do play SAM, it just feels bad to know that I'm playing worse iteration of job that I like.

Yeah, I feel you there. I was once a WHM main T^T. But things have changed and the result is that I've moved to other classes for the most part. If things change again, I'd be happy to go back to it, but I'm not holding out hope for that; instead, I just try to get the joy I can out of the classes I enjoy as they are now, and I cross my fingers that when changes come they'll improve instead of diminish my enjoyment. ^^;
