It's nice to see that you linked Matthew Fox's post on this subject and I completely agree with you but at this point. Unless by some grace of god these QoL changes do happen in 4.4 I think we machinists had best just resign ourselves to our fate of waiting until 5.0. Which is really sad to think about given that Yoshi P issued an apology to a few upset legacy players over a pair of glamour earrings in a seasonal event that was taken as a way to honor the base game while we machinists have been asking for these changes for months so that the community at large can actually pick up and play the machinist class again without these ping concerns. If we don't get them in this patch the likelihood we ever get them before 5.0 (if we even get them then.) is slim to none. I love this game and I love this class but it's in desperate need of help. I truly hope the dev team is paying attention to these threads.
