Instead they went ahead and removed an ability so important to SAM's core design that they had to adjust pretty much every single other action this job had. Have you considered how crazy that this?

I would love to see a revert. A more realistic case would be SE adding a new kenki dump next expansion 2 years from now to make kenki management more interesting. My expectations are very low however, considering the recent history of SE doing very poor choices with job design and choosing to balance jobs around an imaginary audience of people who would like jobs to be easier overall.
The job has become so uninteresting and gutted I just can't believe they didn't realise how huge of an impact their changes would be. I'm just baffled by their complete incompetence.
