Precisely. Ninja's ideology has always set it apart, and for better or worse, people just like thinking and playing jobs they find to be different or unique. As far as I am aware, there is no other minute based job in the game, and making mug our raid buff just removes our niche. Whether how much this niche is worth is debatable, but I enjoy playing a class that brings something no other class can do. I haven't spent too long thinking about it, but I can't think of any other real niches that is occupied by just one class. Perhaps macrocosmos? But that's not nearly as integral to astro as it is to ninja I think.
