Compared to all other jobs who have been through way more homogenization, simplification, hollowing, changes, reworks, ups-and-downs-nerfs-and-buffs, deletion of iconic skills with the gameplay going thoughtlessly towards " look! a shiny button! go press it! ". And Square shows no sign of stopping there for every Job, except Blackmage.

If DRG players look at SMN as to what " rework" entails? it's no wonder some are not hopeful nor that excited for what's in store.
