SE: your deadline

[ckc22]

I think people are way overreacting to you.

XI and XIV have both suffered from various bits of this "oh? <job>? - no thanks" syndrome.

Being excluded from content because of your job makes the game not fun. And I've absolutely seen it happen in the ex primals - DPS checks getting failed? Bard/mch first to go regardless of the parse.

[Adventica6]

As one person pointed out, you're not their boss and demanding is a quick way to get nothing. Enjoy.

[Destomius]

I almost hope they don't get fixed, just so this entitled OP leaves.

Almost.

I'm glad they just noticed that there are 5m Sub.
2nd most subscription in any monthly subscription game.

Guess what they are doing things right...

1.XX was crap.
2.XX new life and made the 2nd most subscription game in the world currently.
3.XX Give it time balancing will happens and being so high and might doesn't get things done.

Anyone else find it funny that all of their complaints are based on a job which has only existed for a few weeks and they're ALREADY making ultimatums?

I mean, were you even enjoying the game before Heavensward came out, or was this the straw that broke the camels back? If you weren't enjoying it then, what made you stick around? I doubt one single class was the reason, and certainly not Mechanist of all things. You can see the problems related to that job from the opening gambit; it's why I never really got into it.

I'd understand if you'd been a lifelong Bard and the job had changed so much it wasn't recognizable anymore, but you literally just jumped ship to play an entirely new job and are already complaining about something which hasn't been around long enough to be adjusted properly. Patience is a virtue that no one seems to have these days.

That's why you just ignore and laugh at these type of people, the audacity to even demand that an entire company cater to their will because a job is not fixed within 2 weeks of being released or their old job isn't working like they want it "as any sane person who has ever played an mmo know new jobs are always tweaked shortly after releases"

But this "do what i want or i will quit!" attitude has been common since forever. Not knowing that them unsubscribing won't even put a dent in the people who are happily playing and enjoying the game. This was still funny tho.

[Higashikata]

"plz SE, I am the most important player in the universe, change the game based on my demands right now or I will quit!"

This is all I managed to get out of the first post.

[AckersFury]

why not just unsub now if you aren't happy, then resub when the changes are made that your wanting, making threats just makes you look stupid

[Garlyle]

So this thread's a thing, but there is something I want to bring up:

"It's unreasonable to wait until after Alexander"

I disagree. Why?

If there's a piece of content which could be balanced in such a way that it would forcibly exclude certain jobs, it'd be Alexander. With that said, the playerbase has no knowledge yet of the mechanics and demands of this content. Factors we don't expect could play a huge role in what classes are in demand - consider how Dragoon fell sharply out of favour at Final Coil because all of a sudden they just didn't have the survivability in the face of all the magic damage going out. That was something nobody could have predicted until it actually happened.
For one instance, a factor to consider is that while Bismarck/Ravana haven't been too bad on them, healers are probably about to rediscover the meaning of the words MP Cost - and so long as that exists, the ability to restore TP/MP will be invalueable, and people will call for a BRD/MCH for it.

Square has not let jobs linger undesireable for long. Warrior. Black Mage. Summoner. Dragoon. All of these jobs got changes during times in the 2.x cycle that they were viewed as useless. I don't know why people think Bard or Machinist are going to be different.

[Lyaha]

If I recall, some of those classes got proper changes very long after 2.0 came out, that's unacceptable and they should have learned from that.

It's SE own fault for not doing proper PTR testing with the classes, they should have a system in place for this. (And I say for the classes, nothing else that might spoil content!)

The OP says he's been asked to leave content for playing a class he took awhile to level, perhaps he has no time to level another class and thus it ruins his enjoyment of the game, which he's paying monthly for I might add.

As for the team listening.. what? Yoshi-P made one statement ON THE JAPANESE FORUM, that's been translated half-arsed or Yoshi-P made a skeptical comment on how the classes 'might' be broken at the moment and how the 'might' fix it in some manner, of course he's not telling us how.
