But just because I choose to be CON doesn't mean I should be called names or told I've been put in my place. It's similar (in nature) to saying "You don't feel you're treated fair as a black man in USA? Move to Africa." Similar, certainly not the same and I didn't mean you yourself were literally saying it.

CON was born with Fire and Flare and Burn and Rasp.
It came to 1.18 and was told "We know you can do lots of things, but too fucking bad."
Similar to black slaves - maybe they were powerful and popular in their native land, too bad.
See? I know there's a distinct and vastly less important difference. I'm just drawing analogies.

The reason I'm even doing it at all is because people think it's fine and fair to say "CON should stay in the back, resting for MP and not playing or helping in anyway - like it was designed to!" They say it as if its not offensive or ignorant or intolerant of others feelings or play-styles in anyway. First of all, it was in fact designed to be whatever I wanted it to be - be that nuker, tank, support, or strict healer. Now, it's been forced into slave labor because no one will want a CON in the party for anything other than what it's EXTREMELY good at (and that they have no alternative because they can't count on THM for heals or raises in a pinch).

So I hope this clears it up for you. I totally realize they aren't the same thing. I'm only taking what people have said about the CON change and drawing parallels to real life and what clearly everyone can agree on is ignorant and offensive to illustrate just how rude people are being to those of us who don't like CON the way it is now and don't have any other job like the one we were playing 2 days ago (that we liked) to fall back on.

I'm sorry it's so difficult to express to people.
Just to hopefully clear the air, Yoshi laid out the job system pretty straight forward one class one job. Whether or not that was a good call by the development team we knew looking at both CON and THM that big changes where about to happen. With all that said is it not understandable to concede to the fact that at least one of the two classes was going to get some pissed off people, it just so happens they effed up MP at the same time really making matters worse.

It was easy to come to the conclusion during the announcement of the job system that both classes were going to be redesigned to be pigeonholed into healer or nuker. The problem lies in the MP coasts which only needs adjustment, no real mind boggling problem.
