The problem with Summoners

[Ardan]

Snip.

You can't claim everyone jumped from SMN to whatever based on them not liking the job for what it is, that's just not true. Everyone has their own reasons, but the primary one is endgame. SMN just wasn't built for Final Coil and are now seeing it's flaws, hence people jumping. Last I checked, nobody is arguing against change, as in adjustments to it's current playstyle. The change you want is to feel like a special snowflake, summoning godlike beings, destroying stuff left and right. You've been whining for it since day one. Source material is just that: source material. How someone uses it depends on what they want to do with it.

And it's a bit of stretch to even presume the new jobs will be more interesting to SMN, let alone the rest of the jobs. A lot of people jumped to NIN, not all of them came from SMN. And I would gladly play the job I liked and not care what anyone says. I primarily played PUP in XI and played it well, despite its' weaknesses and I would do it again if I could.
