Also SE wants feedback ,yes, but they also want feedback thats worth something.. it's like someone is asking for help on physics and you don't know jack shit and in the end all you do is confuse them... Same thing goes with this, no experience, don't bother, because in the end you want the people in which the change will affect most speak out.. It's their feedback that counts, not us DD's, we should talk solely on content that pertains to us, to allow for a more streamlined and useful, heap of feedback.
First of all, I do this for a living so I do know what I'm talking about.

Second of all, these class changes shouldn't consider the people at level 50 any more than they consider the people at level 1. It is the people who have not yet leveled a class who have to deal with the impact of a drastic overhaul and the significant balancing issue it will cause.

A Conjurer who had to level up to 50 with only Aero and Stone will have a significantly harder time than a Conjurer that had all six.

A Lancer who loses a significant portion of their health every time they buff will be eaten alive if they try to solo a levequest that typically has cluster of three enemies at a time.

A Gladiator who can't put out remotely decent damage because all his skills are now defensive will never get the time bonus from completing a levequest.

There are more thing to consider when you do something like this than just the people who leveled the Job already.
