Samurai changes are unacceptable in the current iteration

[Runeslayer]

You know, on paper this specific change wouldn't have garnered as much pushback as it is if you think about it, and I was sitting here thinking about why. Is it just because the SAM players are the most vocal? I thought perhaps, but eventually my thoughts ended up at:

No, this is the logical conclusion of a grander longstanding issue of class homogenization and simplification across the board. This is merely the dam bursting.
That meme of the grim reaper knocking on doors gutting jobs before it is a wholly accurate portrayal of how I see this entire situation.

Job after job has been retouched and reworked to the overall detriment of what people enjoyed about the job in the first place. Summoner now has flavor but it's mechanically uninteresting and I've heard that flavor doesn't feel earned. Dark Knight is neither mechanically nor visually interesting, and until recently had to work against its own design just to perform well. It performs well, but it feels like crap doing so with baffling design choices that remained for YEARS. Samurai is currently going through this fiasco, with the removal of kaiten and autocrits the iaijutsu has lost much of it's impact and whatever kenki management SAM had had been practically wiped away in favor of 'hit poke button when light up' low IQ playstyle.

I even hear that Dragoons are fearful they'll be next, as their class is probably as good as it'll get with the 6.1 changes and they really don't need much more. 6.2 has me and other DRGs I know DREADING the potential gutting.

Yoshi P, I know that you and your team try and work hard to please everyone...in pleasing everyone, you please no one though and hints have constantly been dropping that your balance team doesn't clearly understand what your players like about your jobs. Defend the designers all you want, shift blame onto yourself, but you need to step back and really take a look at what we're all saying.
