FFxiv could use a big change in game design but what about balance

[JohnConstantine]

My knowledge of MCH prior to late-Endwalker is limited as I didn't play before then, I just know there was something about ammo and giving away TP and uh... turrets were *almost* like SMN/SCH pets I think?

MCH used be a priority-based job, like old HW Summoner. That's the simplest way to explain it.

Right now, I think a lot of players literally cannot envision job design that isn't [Opener/2-min] -> [builder-spender].

The terrible irony is that even as some people complain about homogenization of some roles, they're willing to accept it happening to others, because Square-Enix has created a situation where NOT conforming gets you left out in the cold. BLM was just "fortunate" that Square-Enix didn't leave them to languish for very long, and that's probably because of Yoshi-P bias.

This community has absolutely zero solidarity. There's a reason I tell people to just quit the game, because the community itself is one of the biggest problems. The DPS players all made fun of healers back in ShB, back when they were complaining. It's honestly pathetic to witness the infighting. Players tearing at each other's necks when they all have their own grievances at the game. It's like the prison experiments where the prisoners end up fighting each other and not the prison guard.
