You're exactly right. And maybe that's the first step they can take to trying to regain trust from those of us dissatisfied with job design. Roll back on changes to jobs like Viper and Black Mage now. Don't wait for 8.0. Why do we need to wait a year for any meaningful change to maybe occur? Sure, we aren't likely going to get major, sweeping reworks to hollow jobs, but small changes in the present can be a great show of good faith toward our collective community.

But that does require them to actually want to rebuild trust and follow through on this promise to listen to players more. If all that we see of job design over the next year is more aggressive simplifying and radio silence on feedback, then that will indicate to me that these talks of wanting to regain player trust are hollow, meaningless words. And to be fair, my expectations are extremely low, but I care about the game too much to not try and at least say something while there's still time.
