I agree. There was a 50/50 chance either way when you think about BLM spells. However, I think a lot of the animosity stems from the eleventy billion threads that were created that decried "OMG WHY IS CNJ NOT BLM?!" or "What aboutz t3h LoRE?!"

A lot of those posts made valid points. However, those points become repetitive and redundant. They occurred pre and post announcement. To sum it up:

Pre-Job Announcements:
1st to 2nd threads re: CNJ and THM jobs -> valid points made. Supportive arguments which are valid, sound, and "have a point" (i.e. something for the developers to consider)
3rd to eleventy billionth: still valid points, but the SAME points that were made in the 1st and 2nd threads. At this time, I'm just tired of seeing the same arguments written by someone else who didn't bother to scan the other threads.

Post-Job Announcements:
1st to 2nd threads: Understandable outrage (again, 50/50), but your arguments and points are moot. SE developers thought about it and made a decision. Move on.
3rd to eleventy billionth: You're not saying anything novel. Again, move on.

My above statements can be applied to about 50% of the threads created in this forum: How many threads do we really need that express this sentiment?: "I am not happy with paying a subscription (full or reduced) for Final Fantasy XIV until 2.0. I am reconsidering how I spend my free time."

What this forum needs is greater scrutiny by admins, thread consolidation/locking, and a web version of Strunk & White on the side bar.
