Should SE implement a way to poll the playerbase?

I don't trust the average FFXIV player to know what's a good or bad idea any more than I trust the current dev team, honestly.

Touché - maybe the smaller sample size and participation bias that the forums feature is a good thing in this case.

Not to mention that this stuff isn't even relevant to everyone.
If you just casually play the game you could already play without Kaiten, it matters more to someone who's doing harder content.
Dumbing down the game to suit casual players is kinda pointless because it doesn't even matter if they're playing correctly or not, why remove stuff just so that they can do closer numbers to better players but make the game less fun for the better players?

If you're not even doing content where numbers matter then I don't think it's a good idea to let you control how Jobs are balanced and how they play.
You could already just adapt how you play regardless because it doesn't matter, all it really does is enforce it on everyone else.
