7.1 DRG Changes - SE learned nothing from EW

[TomsYoungerBro]

I actually applaud SE for the recent changes. Its getting people off the copium that the 8.0 job rework is gonna save this game. With SE about to touch every job, I'm starting to think 8.0 is gonna be the final nail in the coffin.

If anyone at this point believes that 8.0 will fix the jobs and the MSQ, I want to know where they get that faith from when evidence to the contrary is being shoved in our faces every time the lodestone has a new announcement. Yoshi-P is out of touch and checked out, saying everything is fine and here's some more Wuk Lamat (and supervising mobile crap in the meantime) and whenever there is an update at least one job gets ruined. They've started to touch melee and BLM in DT which used to be the last safe haven from idiot proofing but not anymore.

So I wonder what makes people willing to risk around $300 in subscription money for the next two years on the gamble that it will get better? The odds are not good.

This timeline is brilliant. In a very sad way to the point that i can't help but laugh.

They are serving us the most vile garbage this expansion so in 8.0 they can give us just garbage and say "look at this great stuff we made. We are listening!"

With the world being so bleak I have to get my fun from somewhere.Thus, I've made my choice.

Hey now, they said it would be "modern job gameplay". Don't you feel filled with joy at the mention of modern gameplay? Don't you want your XIV to play like the critically acclaimed XVI of the same development team?

All I know is that this expension is my last for me I should have left at the end of EW but the only reason I still play this is because my GF play it too and we are both tired of it we were two DRG mains at first but now honestly what give? the job dosent have anything to offer anymore even their dash is lame where other jobs can also dash to party members (Same issue for DRK and GNB) Cant believe I will say this but I almost hope they stop it here and dont make an new mmo like they did for ff11 . Keep up the good ideas and wash away the default you know to start a fresh new adventure even if it take time people will wait with solid foundation and a path open to creativity. I feel like FF14 is becoming what made WoW players flee WoW

The dev team has neutered so many jobs at this point. Healers, Monk(since day one shall I remind you), Dark Knight, Machinist, Samurai (atleast partially), and now we're seeing the same thing with Dragoon and Gunbreaker. And that's not even limited to combat jobs, remember when they forced Greed or Pass for everyone in Alliance Raids? Well.

Fellas, I will be blunt: It's over. The balancing team is obsessed about changing things for the sake of change, and does not care about your fun whatsoever. You have seen this time and time again for most of the jobs, and that will not change. Not a single soul asked for this change, and they do not care.

You will not have the fun you previously had with the game anymore, ever. If anything, 8.0 will make it worse. Give it up.

[Schan]

Give it up.

Yeah... not without being annoying loud I won't.

Clearly an outsider has infiltrated the dev team and keeps presenting false play data in order to encourage bad changes here and there (to avoid appearing to push the bad ideas themself directly), in order to bring down XIV and thus Square, so that an overseas publisher (linked to the infiltrator) can buy Square out. This is what happened to Nokia, who were targetted for their patents.
