Giving feedback in this game is pointless (Viper changes)

I'll reply with this: https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/...=1#post6560552
Which is a fair and good explanation why these jobs are changed the way they are.
SE is tuning the game so that everyone can enjoy this, and not just a select few.
And from a long-term perspective, this makes way more sense than catering to a niche group of players.

Turbo casuals could have just applied NG in every combo to keep up their debuff timer without thinking. It's not like the people who struggle with tracking debuffs are doing any content where that potency loss matters. There was no reason to remove decision making and make the job less fun for everyone else.

Well, SE sees it differently.

Do they now?

They are going against something that the producer actively said would not happen. They are still so afraid of being criticized that they have no faith in their own product, and would rather bend over and remove any possible point of friction instead of being confident in their player bases ability to learn.

Yeah, just tried this out. Viper feels significantly less fun to play now - great.

Love how they said they would no longer do quick, knee-jerk changes. And then they remove a major part of a class not even one patch in.
