Samurai changes are unacceptable in the current iteration

[KurenXIV]

You might think it's dumb, but if I had to balance out damage numbers on multiple jobs, plus have to update them and their entire rotation every blasted time the next expansion is coming, and it was going to come on a schedule with basically zero flexibility if something went wrong on the 11th hour of the night, I sure as hell would cut down on complexity. Not everything revolves around player feedback but if enough people are upset about it maybe they will revert something...

Kind of doubt they will.

You don't design a game much less an MMO that way. If there's an issue with a coming expansion well you design the job around the changes for that expansion, not a good year and a half plus away from it.

There's simply no excuse for the scenario they left players in. I will say though that I'm fully in the "doubt the will change it" camp now and think they will double down and ruin DRG next as well as AST. At which point I'm done with the game.
