    Corsair/Whitemage was for scrubs who couldn't afford/make bullets.

    You sort of missed the point.

    Instead of looking at things and saying "okay, we were really stupid to make those COR bullets difficult to make and require expensive materials. We should change that so that more people play the job as we designed and intended", the devs looked and said "well, they're subbing WHM and only using their hexaguns for Quick Draw. They're brought to events (even if its only as backup curebots!), so all is well. BALANCE!". You want to talk about slaps to the face, ask the pirate gambler that finds himself being a cure b*tch for his group.

    * The sad thing is that FFXIV turned RDM into a turret, and people think that's what it's supposed to be. It's supposed to combine sword and magic into something more, not spend the bulk of gameplay spamming spells and jump into melee for only 3 GCDs before scurrying back to the back line like good little casters.
    * Design ideas:
    Red Mage - COMPLETE (https://tinyurl.com/y6tsbnjh), Chemist - Second Pass (https://tinyurl.com/ssuog88), Thief - First Pass (https://tinyurl.com/vdjpkoa), Rune Fencer - First Pass (https://tinyurl.com/y3fomdp2)

    It's a shame lazy people let it happen.

    I had 0 issues playing corsair/ranger and spamming bullets all day long. This is what happens when you give people a lazy path of least resistance they will take it and then complain about it afterwards. Hell I never subbed WHM on my corsair, if anything I went /blm for better quickdraws lol.

    You can't always blame the developers for the players letting themselves get pushed around. Corsair was perfectly viable damage SE had balance and players decided to ignore it and become Cure-bots instead.

    I dont think SE made things more expensive.. the surge of RMTs and gil buyers made EVERYTHING more expensive.. just a matter of time before it happens on XIV too.
