Cant find developer replies SMN and EGI issue

[Skaramush]

Hi, i was trawling the net hoping to see there has been some constructive response from the japanese devs regarding the dissatisfaction people ( and here i mean ex FFXI smn players like myself) are experiencing with smn and egis mechanics and visual representation , but i have found absolutely ZERO. Is this not considered an issue for the devs? I know it is for us therefore all the complaints since beta.
Have the devs actually replied? Im tempted to change to playing puglist once i unlock SMN as i dislike being a dot bot as Arcanist and would like to see whether the devs are actually planning to adress or not? And i cant find any official response on the subject.

They don't seem to care about a non-existent issue from the vocal minority. Can't blame them.

This wasn't a constructive topic to begin with. There is already a complaint thread you can voice your woes in. I also gave you an answer which you were looking for.

No you are being a snarky asshole about it thats how i would sum up your reply. What im looking for is any official dev posts on class design and Egi in general and i cant find anything official on the internet at all. While there are plenty of complaints about it. So hardly a non issue. What do you think is the Selling point of SMN as a class ? Low Poly pets size of minions?

If you want XI SMN you're not going to get it here, or indeed in any other MMO except XI.

No developer in their right mind would create a new job where you attack once then cast weak cures for a minute until you can go again.

XI's SMN was always terrible. A single SAM/WAR/DRK could do more damage that an entire party of summoners could push out. The only reason they saw any use was the retarded enmity cap and later on for Alexander's Astral Flow.

Now where's the guy with the dead horse picture?

You'd think I was a one trick pony.

Eh... Ehh... Sigh.

We discussed your feedback about the design of the egi with the development team. As was mentioned previously during the Beta test, the design planner reiterated that egi were designed to be a manifestation of a percentage of power taken from the primals and are intentionally designed to appear differently from the primal. As such, we aren't planning on changing the look of egi at higher levels.

We will however continue to take in your feedback when creating new egi that will be added in the future.

All one needs to do, is look harder.

My one single question in regards to this request: Would you getting the SMN you always wanted really justify players like me, who main smn, and love it for what it is, having the job we know and love taken away from us? 2 sides to every coin.
