Hello,

I have been browsing these forums for quite some time. I have played ffxiv off and on for the past few years but very casually, never completing the msq or reaching max level. This is the first expansion where I am actively trying to complete the msq and reach end game.

My main is a monk, and I am enjoying it so far, though I do have several of the common gripes that others list on this forum(gl management and chakra stacks being my biggest concern). When I browse this forum I feel like every other comment is complaints about monk.

I am not denying the validity of these statements. I agree with most points others bring up. My question though is this, how vocal were these forums specifically in the past about the state of monk. It seems like from 2.0 to 5.0 monk has changed very little when compared to the other classes. So I am just curious if monk changes are more likely because of the vocality of these forums, or if this forum has always been vocal and the devs just have not made the suggested changes.

Thank you for lending an ear.
