Can we please keep complaining about everything?

And despite what Yoshi P baits with "improved encounter design" or "improved job design", this will never change, because this is a low-cost solution to hook a lot of low-effort players and get reliable revenue from players who don't care about using any brain cells.

At times I really struggle to see "improved encounter design" on dungeon bosses. It seems to be they do mech 1, then mech 2, then mech 3, and after that just loop an overlap of the three. Makes them feel very spammy and repetitive.
And certain bosses such as Deadwalk 1 and 2 are just bad. Spirited Charge with a terrible netcode getting you hit even when away from the add, or the spinning tea cups that take up most of the fight. And then it's fun that it got the best third boss for the current endgame dungeons.

And then third boss is equally boring because it's a run of the mill boss design in modern XIV.
But at least you're not pulling your hair literally running through the first two so it feels okay in comparison...

If people think that the criticism is gunna die down just cause Square Enix is burying head in sand and trying to force more of the same . . Then they're in for a rude awakening.

I might even unsub, Doesn't mean i'm gunna stop talking about it.

7.2 is just showing they aren't listening, Slop in first half and 7.25 is where all the content people want.

There is no improved encounter design in dungeons... All they did was add 1 unavoidable after a mechanic, so that if you failed that mechanic, then you were almost certainly dead to the unavoidable that follows up unless someone compensated.

Still just as boring, and still just as slow and Netflix inducing as the slop that's been fed to us for the past 8 years.

Job change patch notes come ridiculously late, people are literally only able to not be blindsided by changes based on what gets seen in one frame in a liveletter.

Honestly there's 2, maybe 3 Major things I wanna see.

1. Give us annotations to systems and job changes. I don't expect to hear Yoshi-P's full psychoanalysis on any given topic, but just a quick explanation of What they're intending for a class or for a change, and what other measures they're looking to do if a class continues to displease.

2. Utilize the simplification as new groundwork. it's what we all thought they'd do with the EW Summoner Rework, but sadly they've failed to deliver so far. I don't **begrudge** them wanting to condense down jobs, but then you gotta rebuild using the new foundation. Making Black Mage more Mobile? Then give us more weaves to put into said mobility (maybe something like Titan-Egi's Mountain Buster)

3. A better reward structure for Moogle Tome events. I've been seeing a ton of people use bots in Praetorium just to deal with that horseshit.

By slop you mean the story that made all the influencers hate it so much that the Youtube algorithm made it profitable to the point where people that haven't played in years came back to grift on it? Please.... if 7.0 had a great story the forums would be empty of complaints and you know it.
