Please don't change Viper

Its actually kinda funny that when Japanese community does not like something, its gets changed in next minor patch, but anybody else has to scream at them for years to fix obvious glaring issues like old living dead or how they have been homogenazing everything since stormblood, to the point where endwalker was putting people to sleep.

the devs are japanese, so that's not much of a surprise. how many 'murican devs design their games based on japanese feedback?

there's also the fact that, while people in the west will loudly complain about things, they'll keep playing the game for decades before getting too fed up. correct me if i'm wrong but eastern audiences are a lot more willing to quit when they're unhappy with something - i'm aware of quite a few examples from TCGs to gacha games and even celebrities can lose their whole career if people find out they smoke or have a boyfriend

You misunderstand. For many people, even though we have been putting up with it for a long time, this IS what is making a lot of us willing to quit because we are unhappy. I have been watching jobs ebb and flow for a long time and have mostly been able to tolerate it, but the homogenization of a job that has been out for single digit days is the last straw for me personally. It will be up to people to put their money where their mouth is if the changes do go through, but most of us are of course fighting in hopes that these changes don't happen to begin with.

I do not currently play it but have a very good friend who does and they love it just as it is. They loved Monk before it got it's changes to take away what made it complex and interesting to them. This has given that back and they are having so much fun. I look forward to the challenge of more than 2 positionals when I dive in and learn it for myself.

Please do not change viper. It's too soon to be making a change like this. The game has been out for official release less than a week.
