Why is everyone anxious about a PLD Rework?

[Shurrikhan]

One day, FFlogs should just hide the percentile and median stats on everyone's page as an april fools joke. Leave it that way for a week or two, so it doesn't just get dismissed right away as 'eh its just april fools' and people start thinking it'll stick.

I'd actually really like to see that. Given the high chance people just go back to business as normal thereafter, though, I guess I'd just like to see context made a bit more visible? For instance, it would be interesting if we could see how many attempts have gone into a given fight that haven't yet cleared (noting also that most people don't log non-clears), or how the number of clears compare to previous tiers or luckybancho estimates on the number of active level-capped players. It'd be cool to see what the enrage time is for the given fight, and to be able to quickly check how a party fell far above or below making that mark, or even to do "what if" substitutions.

If they wanted to really throw a wrench into it, we'd just have an assortment of different prime number recasts to deliberately mess with the alignment. But then you might as well stick with personal buffs and make this feel more like a single-player game. That will be next, the way the complaints are going.

I hope it doesn't come to that, but that does sadly seem the fairest bet, given the history of adjustments thus far.
