Their aim is to fix the combat encounters throughout the 7.x patches and obviously 7.2 is where they are prepared to make stuff tougher than at expansion release. I expect that the assessment on these forums won't be positive whatever they do though, because it never is. We will see though.

I think that the first tier of raids and dungeons and trials are an example of their design changes so, ultimately if that doesn't make someone happy, they probably won't be impressed by 7.2 either.

There ARE actually people who have talked positively about Dawntrail content though, so really gonna depend what your expectations are and if they are met. I wouldn't personally expect SE to change that much.
Improved job design in 8.0? They'll conveniently forget to say anything about it and hope everyone forgets about it with them.
Maybe, but in my experience, if they say something they are planning it. They are media savvy and know that they can't say something unless it's actually happening.

A recent example of them saying something then not doing it was the Dragoon rework. But they did actually acknowledge that we were expecting a rework and just said it turned out they didn't need to change much, which is good because I was speculating they were going to make it a Reaper clone and destroy what little difference there is between them.

I think they will do something. Like usual, I don't expect it to be enough to satisfy you or most people on these forums though. At the end of the day, whatever changes they are planning, they probably aren't gonna be something that transform a person from not wanting to play, to wanting to play, because there's not much track record of that in this game.
