please no more new jobs

the problem is square is the king of putting a game in maintenance mode the day it launches, and their mmorpgs are no exception, but the fan base is so die-hard that they would buy anything sold, and thats their prerogative, but now in later stages of a company that went from being forced to wow fans with a final fantasy game to stay in business, to a company that will reinvent its self for modern audiences for investor money regardless of fan desire (cough cough forspoken/avengers/abandoning turn based games cough cough) they have no reason to care, they got paid with or without us, so we are basically talking to a wall too thick for the devs to hear us threw.

past that, yeah i hope they continue to deliver a good product and balance, but personally i believe its beyond them on this current iteration of the company.

I am of the complete opposite opinion.
I think they should keep adding new jobs and stop updating all the existing jobs rotations every expansion with 5 new spells etc.
Focus on a few jobs at a time and make it right and keep adding new archetypes.

for the story, content, glamour, new skills , new pets for bst and the amazing locations. if you think a job carries a game then why is mhw doing so well despite adding NO new weapons...
just imagine how much they could flesh jobs out if they didnt have to develop more of them.

If you think people are going to play an MMO for the story alone, you're kidding. A lot of people (unfortunately) skip the story as much as possible, and only play for the content. Even if it sucks, there are always those players.

Oh, there's no point telling them to not play it. Everyone that complains about this game is guaranteed to continue subbing and playing the expacs. What alternative do they have, playing WOW?

Perhaps what those who are saddened by their perception of this game's state need to do is expand their horizons. There are plenty of games to play out there in addition to this one. A number of commenters appear to be fond of WoW, or GW2 or [pick another favorite MMORPG that's 10+ years old]. I played WoW for ten years, and also played Rift, Secret World, Guild Wars 2, Star Wars: The Old Republic, Final Fantasy XIV, Final Fantasy XI, Lord of the Rings Online, Wildstar, Blade and Soul, and a plethora of other MMORPGs during those same ten years. Many of those games were subscription based when I started to play them.

Looking for that One True Game without also sampling others is a mistake in my opinion. This game won my subscription by providing story and gameplay I've enjoyed over the past decade. WoW lost my subscription about a year into Battle for Azeroth. The others mentioned still get played once in a blue moon because they don't require a subscription at this point (well Final Fantasy XI just never held my attention for long. Neither did Everquest or Everquest 2, for some reason).

For me, new jobs add opportunities for flavor in this game. I greatly enjoyed gameplay as Reaper this expansion, and Dancer during the last expansion. I look forward to seeing what Viper and Pictomancer may provide. Even if I don't favor them, I'll still take time to level them up. That experience is still rewarding in its own right.
