I know it sounds like a cheap political slogan, but I really wish to find a solution that makes most players happy. You don't like DoTs and love Endwalker Job design? Good for you — and I'm 100% serious, no sarcasm whatsoever. However my point — and the point of this thread — is: how can we make the rest of the people happy to play as well? The mental scheme should not be "give-and-take" but "give-and-give".

Also, as many other comments have pointed out in this thread and in the other ones, liking new SMN doesn't mean being blind to its very obvious imperfections. Keep in mind that likes and dislikes are ultimately a subjective thing and constitute no argument at all. In respecting everyone's tastes we should also recognize that different people have different preferences and this discussion is not directly about that — rather it's about finding the solution which is objectively better for the majority. And that solution is to keep, preserve and perfect both styles of play.
The problem is SE will never satisfy everyone. You know this and so does SE. I’m sure they spent allot of money on new summoner and they aren’t going back to add old skills they removed. There has not been a huge outcry for dots returning so SE will not. It doesn’t benefit new summoner at all. Plus summoner still has one dot during Garuda phase. New summoner has its issues like all the other jobs but they need to build on this new summoner. Look forward not backwards.

I sympathize with the lot of you who miss the dots but at the end of the day and Yoshi himself said it. People complained that dots were not a part of what made summoners who they were. They summoned gods. Hopefully the next new job will be a mostly for job to satisfy those who enjoy dot oriented jobs. Bard also has dots but those maybe going away in 7.0 since they play no role in the game play anymore.
