" Rabid Kaiten advocate... " ( that's a new one... )
If it was aimed at me? Firstly, you're to kind... Secondly, PVE Samurai made me fall in love with XIV's combat of which I now do 100x less of after the 6.1 changes cause shocker? I like it a lot less. What was the Nr.1 reason to play for me? became the 5th after now Housing / Gposing / Community-Service / Hanging-out. Speak of not antagonizing, yet you're throwing wild assumptions in your posts, written with lies as the supposedly popular opinion... with little to nothing to back it up. Whole paragraphs of essentially boiling down to " I am talking out of my *biep* ", all the offense, I'm just being blunt...
Back on Topic, " Kaiten removal " fixed absolutely nothing, improved absolutely nothing, tackled absolutely zero issues while making the gameplay absolutely dumber and replaced its removal with absolutely nothing - That's it.
Dio and many others already debunked the crap out of everything through the ground... But when it comes to the arguments of what Dev's need to handle... newsflash? they are paid a salary, thus the caring for the Dev's of a billion dollar company argument is so honorable ( if you even actually cared... ) Yet, who cares? I care about gameplay. We don't pay a sub to feel sorry for the Dev's... Just keep my Job fun or don't make it worse, that's it. And all I see are excuses on how a Job should be less fun for the most stupid reasons that makes absolutely no sense. Anything that makes gameplay worse? makes the game worse - it's that simple. ( It's not rocket science btw... )
Also, for the hundredth time? is anyone defending Shinten spamming yet as in-depth/amazingly/improving/complex/satisfying gameplay over Kaiten execution? Cause that would be the day... Every time its someone trying to reason Kaiten's removal, never ever is Shinten spamming ever taken into question on how terrible that is now in comparison... Has anyone ever noticed that pattern? ( Crazy observation, I know... mhm... )
