It comes across to me as simply wanting to trash a job and it's players to feel superior than them.
You don't half complete a job and release it in that state. I also don't believe for a second that they had no where to go, there's no way they have so little imagination.

As for derision, they outright REMOVED a job that had been in game since 2.0 launch. I think people have a right to be irritated and to get irritated with people who didn't play the class previously telling them how great it is now. I have no problem with people wanting a braindead job to play, Red Mage and Machinist were mine, but I certainly didn't want my main job removed to make room for it.
