RIP Ninja

Perhaps you should read their posts then, because most people who aren't happy with what they heard from the Live Letter do state their reasons.
It's also not so much about being worried that we'll be a lot weaker than other melees, it's about other melees getting new, awesome mechanics while we only get more of the same nerfed Raiton - and get to deal with positionals on top. NIN is the only job for which they not only didn't announce anything exciting, they even mentioned that we'll get positional requirements slapped on our skills. That part doesn't bother me much, but it's still not good news.

That's mostly just complaining about the presentation.
We don't know anything about the new weaponskills down in the video so we don't know how NIN will play post-3.0.

Secondly, why would NIN get the same treatment as every other class when it came out much more recently?
They're adding mechanics to Jobs that are 2 years old as opposed to NIN's 1 year.
They would even been already working on Heavenward by the time NIN was released, which is probably why it's been in a good place.

Even so, NIN is probably not going to get less abilities leveling up.
That means we're going to have new stuff to play with, but it might not be as mechanically ground changing because you shouldn't add mechanics just for the sake of it.

NIN has been out for ONE tier of raiding as opposed to THREE for every other class.
That's not nearly enough testing to see how the job moved and developed.
I would much rather wait so they make sure they have a cohesive design direction for NIN than them just adding stuff for the sake of it.
Because if we get rushed flawed mechanics, then we'll probably be stuck with them for a while.

I guess that's easy for me to say because I, personally, think added positionals are a good thing.
