Please stop alienating the playerbase with job total reworks

[LianaThorne]

I, for one, have been one of those who have been alienated with such drastic changes. I stopped playing at around the end of Heavensward because adulting but when I got my s*** together, I am now replaying the game. And going back to SMN, boy I was so shocked and immediately switched jobs at how terrible the gameplay it has now than what I remembered how it used to.

So I watched videos of SMN from Stormblood to Shadowbringers and I must say that ShB SMN was the closest to what I envisioned SMN would be. Why the hell did they make it like this? Also with SCH... A certain job is well maintained, but the pet jobs scrapped over in favor of oversimplification?

Please SE. Bring back the pet system to ACN.

I know you're newly returning so you should probably be made aware that using any healer as a comparison for a well maintained job is a choice at this stage of the game lol. We've been screaming for our jobs to change for months or years now so it's not so boring or simple to play. Hell, WAR can literally do our job for us (as I have been asked on more than one occasion to sit out of bosses so they can practice playing all 3 roles) so that might be a better example of a "well-maintained" job.
