The FF14 community does not understand SE's design choice

[ZXN]

Remember back in HW/SB about healer memes?.

—Don't tell me what to do.
—I won't follow your big pulls.
— Cleric Stance? I'm a Healer.
— AOE damage ? Dude I'm a Healer.
—Bane? Rofl ask the SMN.
—I hope SE stop giving us damage or dots it's giving me anxiety.

Tinfoil hat on: They might actually be taking the memes more seriously then the actual feedback.

They DID say they chose Tural because the players "really wanted more tacos", which only really started because of Ruby Weapons' "Big Fat Tacos" meme. People meme'd about Warrior being too angry to die along with it's big unga bunga damage numbers, and they buffed warrior's healing and mitigation to make it even more unkillable and gave it bigger skills to do even more unga bunga damage numbers. People meme on Dark Knight about being edgy and alone and not having a lot of the same things the other tanks do, so they balanced Dark Knights to be the worst tank currently by a landslide when compared to the other three by giving it almost nothing that the other three tanks currently do and leaning into that edgy and alone meme by making it so nobody wants to play on the playground with them.

The memes seem to be dictating more then any actual feedback at this point.

Bold of you to think the job designers don't just change things willy-nilly and throw crap at the wall hoping it'll stick.

Much easier to blame mythical "community feedback" than realizing that maybe, just maybe, the devs just flat out suck lmao.

Ummm excuse me, why are you playing the game then?? Hmm ??????????????

"See mechanics" gives it away.
AKA High end raiders.

As I stated before, that's whom the game is designed around, been that way since shadowbringers.

Welcome to the rot of every mmo where class/job design is either catered mostly to pvp'ers or high end raiders.

Say sike right now

Yoshi-P also apologized for Y'shtola's magical girl phase in 6.1 EW and her 'Little Sun' insult after realizing how hard the community meme'd these things.
