Players gear multiple jobs. And in doing so can only focus one class to gear up at a time when new tomestone gear hits and in some cases alternative gear doesn't present options when players wish to optimize each class with specific stats granted by each piece, sometimes located in different tiers. At which point there are no alternatives.

To gear up all those jobs it is very likely they will wait 2-3 months down the road to catch up when the new tomestones are added and the cap removed.

You yourself have offered no ideas to improve the game as a whole, maybe you feel it's good enough. However in order to convey the feelings of players and that they wish for improvement wouldn't the players themselves have to collaborate with the development team? And if all players outside of the JP servers fall on deaf ears what hope do we have of change? Especially given that it either would take time to translate concerns or they simply don't reach them to begin with.

Several ideas have been mentioned throughout the forum's life including cooldown resets primarily in raids(savage in particular) to save time for players that want to get in and run content, ideas to buff up other jobs to have a state of balance on par with other jobs, suggestions to enrich the game world and so on and so forth.

Having ideas is one thing...actually having them implemented is another.

The source of my vehemence is the dashed hopes that new content would be offered to differentiate on what we already have. And I suspect more then just me feel this way.

If you feel the content being offered is "good enough" and you enjoy it immensely then more power to you. I commend you. To be content with what is offered truly is a good thing to see and acknowledge.
