The "nerf this, nerf that, and nerf everything in between" attitude

[Souljacker]

Here's the thing. When they are building a class or Job they balance it against the existing classes and Jobs then test their build as they think a player would.

This is why a lot of other developers will put up a public test server and have players test changes before they go live. SE refuses to do this for some reason. If they did do it though, I can guarantee you all these issues would have been discovered long before the release of the job. There's a subset of players that literally live for finding things like this.
