Thread: Viper changes prove 8.0 will not add job complexity

So, from what I recall, no matter what happened group B would have been unhappy. The only way to make group B happy was to keep it exactly how it was, the status quo, at the “exclusion” of group A.

None of the changes made forcibly exclude group B, it just further includes group A. Group B then will make a choice on whether or not they like the changes and wether to stay or hop ship… but they are not and never were excluded.

That’s my interpretation. I myself and more for making the content harder and the jobs consistent. I also don’t have a problem with NG, but it was not and never was interesting to me. It was just something I had to do and tried to do flawlessly. They could have just extended the timer for me and I would have rolled with that too. What bothers me is when people have a hard time grasping mechanics when the jobs have been streamlined. That’s what bores me about the game.
