Picto makes the game less fun

"With the release of 7.0, however, we noticed that the DPS of the new job Pictomancer clearly stood out from the other classes. We could have nerfed Pictomancer before the raid, but since many people liked playing it so much, we decided to bring the DPS of the other classes into line with that of Pictomancer."

They have a track record of this with RPR being released in EW. It was substantially stronger than the other melee in the 1st tier and after a few balance patches it became slightly behind them after they buffed the other jobs instead of nerfing RPR.

so why they didn't give Viper a chance to be gold shine like picto?

I see only counter argument in the argument it self
