SE has a problem of listening only to places like Allakhazam and Dreams in Vana'diel (ffxionline.com). The ignore the endgame community, who arguably are more savvy with the game mechanics and are more aware of the balance problems.

The fact that they keep buffing up PLD every single update is almost no-doubt related to the constant whinning on alla about being usurped by NIN. For god's sake, a PLD with Aegis can currently tank Fafnir and take around 15 damage a hit. They are slowly making PLD damn near immune to everything and able to hold hate no matter what. People complain about the /NIN craze... but if SE keeps it up with the hate management, every PLD is going to /NIN at almost any endgame situation as long as they can hold hate (and many do already).

I'm not saying they shouldn't buff up jobs that are already doing well. COR and BLU are obviously both doing well. They are making BLU even more powerful and basically about to put COR beyond BRDs (adding Dispel and especially Sleep makes them almsot on par with BRD for endgame XP).

Meanwhile, while they are uber buffing the already buff, they are ignoring the jobs that are getting [img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img] on. They really need to pay DRG more attention. I'm glad they add a little for PUP here and there, but it's too little, too late, and too little at a time.

They make claims and then go the other way. They were gonna make DRKs have more of a reson to use Scythes endgame they said... then they added the Algol, which is just a sick GS giving very little reason to use Scythes. They say they are going to make WHM the be-all-end-all healer, but they really haven't added much in that area for WHM... Martyr? Devotion?


They need to be giving more attention to the jobs that are getting screwed in reality instead of buffing up jobs that are obviously doing fairly well already.
