The new player experience and how FFXIV fails as an MMO.

I'll however disagree on that last part, as it is absolutely obvious with a lot of job changes notably the latest BLM patch that they do this specifically to accommodate for increased pacing and DDR.

This made me think... Are we ever going to see a turret caster again who needs to be very precise about their placement versus uptime?
BLM 8.0's patch notes: Every ice spell is now instant-cast on Umbral Ice lol.

Why they're doing this? To accomodate the faster doubled-down DDR? To me it just speaks hints on how they want to have less work balancing fights. In theory, it should be easier to plan an encounter if you don't need to account for certain jobs having limited mobility.
