BLM was wonderfully fluid and flexible in ShB and EW. Now it feels clunky, rigid, and unpleasant.
Its sad but I fear this "Opener" is what is likely going to happen. But I have played BLM only since I started 13 years ago. And if this mess isnt fixed ASAP, I think with Dawntrail is a new journey. it might be time for me to journey away from this game after all this time. I have never ever considered just giving up on XIV, but this BLM changes has pretty much ruined all the excitement I had for MONTHs for this expansion in just less than 1 week into the launch
