What’s the point when BLM’s newfound success is PCT and SMN’s loss?

^again im not sure how else to phrase this post because whether PCT is bad or not has literally nothing at all to do with the point I’m trying to make (I only put it as an aside because it may be a contributing factor though I doubt it is) nor does MCH continuing to be bad.

Whenever square does reworks on classes they do them because they are unpopular by and large. This was their justification for 6.0 SMN, it was their justification for 7.0 AST, it was their justification for 5.4, 6.0 AND 7.0 MNK and we know they haven’t been happy with BLM’s population numbers.

What’s the point of doing a rework to a job if you “make a job popular” by simply pumping up its numbers when you simplify it then declare it’s a success because people like to play meta classes.

My point is where is this going? Is it time to rework SMN again because it’s unpopular (I don’t want to hear about your ideas behind leviathan shiva and ramuh), if they buffed PCT and BLM went down would BLM’s rework be considered a failure. I simply do not see where this job design is going since the only thing they ever seem to base it on is how popular a job is
