Players enjoying the current iteration of Job is "troublesome"

I can't speak to the SAM changes as I'm honestly pretty puzzled by exactly what they were trying to accomplish with that.

I do understand the basic premise of what he's saying though. There's a point at which they can't just keep adding more skills and more buttons or we end up with Monk style situations where the job is basically complete and then ends up with 20 levels worth of near useless or overly situational buttons. But of course everyone is waiting for that next pre-expansion job trailer to show off the Next Big Thing for their job anyway. Anyone remember Scholar getting laughed out of the room pre-EW because of how underwhelming it looked (even though most people like Expedient and are now sad it's getting nerfed)? And he's not wrong in saying that people get so hung up on "Their Job" that they'll complain about any little change even if it's an obvious improvement.

I'm not saying they make all the right decisions all the time, but the more jobs they add and the more skills those jobs have the more difficult it's going to be to make the "right" decisions or to even determine what the "right" decisions are. It's pretty easy to see why he feels backed into a corner and is nervous about making (and not making) changes.
