I'm not pushing "self generated sadness" on anyone. I am simply being critical. I am critical of Red Mage. I am critical of Samurai. I was critical of Warrior. I was critical of Scholar. I was critical of the DRG/NIN/MCH meta. I am critical of NIN to this day. I'm not setting myself up for disappointment, because at the end of the day I will play the class I want. If I like Samurai the most of the DPS. I will play that. Playing Samurai will not change my stance on it, however. Whether or not they nerf, buff or ignore SAM is not up to me nor will it ultimately influence how I play. I will still play how I want. I just like encouraging discussion about classes and/or their place in balance, or how well they work in comps etc.

Again, you assume I have some personal stake, or that most posts are generated by negative emotion over than enthusiasm and enjoyment. I enjoy DPS, I enjoy this game, I enjoy playing DPS, so I am passionate about it. But I would never take out my anger, frustration, sadness or stress out on the forums against other people. That's just lashing out and no one deserves to be treated like that. I just follow the belief that if something can't be criticized it's perfect, and nothing is perfect because if it is that means there's nothing to strive for.

Regardless, this topic is not about me, it's about whether or not SAM is "OP." So let's please drop it here.
