It's why I don't really ask for much for SMN. I've learned to love and accept what SMN was around HW and only wished for QoL changes and improvements to its mechanics, especially the summons. They did deliver in 4.x with Demi Bahamut even though it needed work (and still does), but SMN especially at 4.1 was in a good place than ever before.

I wish most people felt the same but you're right, the SMN community is too divided that it's possible that's the reason why this is happening right now.
