Limited Job #2: Beastmaster

[ReiMakoto]

Snip

You dont always need to play something to know that you do not and will not like it. I levelled blu to 50 and did a lot of content on it, so:
1. I will not enjoy the new 10 levels of leveling, level grinding in the overworld is tedious
2. I will not enjoy the new masked carnival, ffxiv is too simplistic to work well in a solo context, I have seen the new stages, they dont fix this problem
3. The new spells are not interesting to me, 30% of them or something are just new elemental aoes, and the others just function like skills we've seen on other classes mostly, the few vaguely interesting spells would not be exclusive to a limited job anyway.
4. I would not enjoy the BLU log, i run dungeons a lot doing those dungeons again, just on blu for rewards i dont want or need is something thats a hard sell, especially when the PF is as dead on my server as it is.
5. Morbol Mount. Again, if I wanted to run old raids Id just run old raids, doing it on BLU is something i wouldnt find l that fun, doing a Man Mode is something way more interesting. This is because fundamentally, BLU just plays as a normal DPS with the occasional gimmick (l 5 death or diamondback a mechanic you could just do correctly), then on tank and healer youre just trying to immitate those roles poorly, Tanking on BLU is sheer misery, and gcd healing is boring af so i wouldnt enjoy either of those to. So if I was just playing dps blu, id get annoyed because I cant see why it should be limited and as a result would not enjoy the content.

So all this begs the question, why would I force myself through content I know I wouldnt enjoy to criticise it, as a consumer its much more powerful a statement to not engage as it adds to statistics of failure which is ultimately more valuable than forum feedback. Think of it this way with this hypothetical, if I bought Fifa and didnt enjoy it fundamentally because I dont enjoy it because of say the camera, so i dont buy the next one cos it doesnt matter what other changes are made because that fundamental hasnt changed, and complaining despite not owning is still valid

Edit: Quoted the wrong person.

Also to your earlier points about smn and yoshi supporting limited bst. I believe other users have convered it better than I will but SMN is one of the most popular jobs since the game released, and ever since demis there hasnt been much of a summoner identitiy complaint, even the thread you linked had barely any interaction. As for Yoshi supporting BST as limited, thats sorta the problem a lot of us are getting at, his vision is too narrowly focused on the FFXI versions of these jobs that he couldn't see them working any other way, when there are more games where they dont function how they do in XI than there are where they do.
