So I made this post a long time ago, and kinda forgot about it as I'd become quite fed up of going over the same points with people who clearly did not have the same understanding of the job. Imagine my surprise coming back to almost 40 new pages of discussion, spanning months, and being active as recently as last week!

I'm overwhelmed by the outpouring of support from likeminded players (I read every single reply!), and I sincerely hope with my entire heart that our feedback hasn't fallen on deaf ears. The passion and enthusiasm that Black Mage players have for the job, the game, and its fights is inspiring and has been a huge motivator in my journey of improvement throughout the course of Endwalker. I hope that one day soon we can find ourselves back in a good place with regards to the job.

Please do not lose hope for BLM, and keep fighting the good fight! o7
