Samurai changes are unacceptable in the current iteration

[ShanaShirayuki]

If YoshiP would put in even half as much effort as his most recent announcement regarding PvP for Job Balance concerns we'd have a much happier community. What a joke. Many things said in that post should have been said about PvE balance. This isn't exclusive to Samurai either, it's just a huge *----* joke how we're all treated.

Edit: Start from page 324 of the JP Samurai thread if you want to see reactions to the PvP announcement. I'd like to remind you all Samurai isn't the only job voicing their frustrations and rarely, if ever for some jobs, it being addressed properly.

"In touch with the playerbase" Yeah right. Could've easily made an announcement regarding their screwup with 6.1 as they did with this recent PvP patch. I read through those posts using DeepL and it's nice to see JP call the devs' hypocrisy out regarding balance and playerbase communication.

Probably too busy massaging their bruised (and undeserved) ego getting all the feedback they have been getting, either politely or aggressively worded. They have definitely lost any respect or goodwill I had for this dev team and I cannot care less how they are "hurt" because of the feedback. If they screwed up, they deserve the consequences of the screw-up, same as everyone that has ever existed.

Also how is it that "packet loss" got addressed only when it happened in JP when NA and EU have been complaining about that for months and years? How is it that this dev team is allowed to get away with behaviour bordering on xenophobia and still "praised" over and over again for whatever minor and less than inconsequential things they do?

I dont know how long you been playing but this community has a long history of brushing off all the valid criticism aimed at the game or dev team because (i think) they feel like its a personal attack, as they feel so parasocially close to XIV and the main face of the dev team, yoshiP. I've been bitching and moaning about packet loss and responsiveness issues in particular for as long as I can remember lol but I've barely ever gotten people to even acknowledge it because they're drowning in copium and happy with the state of things overall.

I love the devs too they're fine, the game is good. But for a few years now the job design decisions they've made have just been baffling, look at the state of tanks and glare bots compared to how they were. Look at the absolute state of SMN.
I don't want SAM to be the next SMN. Come on u guys revert Kaiten like u did Hagakure.

That makes a lot of sense. I guess something like that has more serious implications than the removal of Kaiten ever could.

Its funny because them addressing that while 99% of SAM mains are madging over here feels like preferential treatment in itself and actually reinforces these meme implications???
