Why are summoners so neglected?

People aren't asking for that though, having a higher focus on pets doesn't means that you just stand back and watch.

Well what do you want then? What do you want that will successfully blend with FFXIV's SMN? From what I can tell, you want pets to mostly dominate the focus of the SMN with the actual SMN not doing much. How can you get that concept to blend into our SMN without an entire overhaul?

Weren't part of those stats from people that just had the job leveled? And since leveling SCH to 60 also levels SMN it's a bit...skewed?

Don't forget you have to unlock SMN first! Leveling a SCH to 60 will make your SMN to 60 if you actually unlocked SMN.
