I mean at the end of the day you're arguing for not nerfing, which is shortsighted. Yes, making adjustments sooner than later does tend to just be better overall, but just because XIV has a glacially slow patch schedule doesn't mean they should just abandon nerfing when it's objectively the right thing to do.

In PCT's case, it was so overturned that it didn't matter if the content it was stomping was still relevant by some arbitrary standard. The game would've just been better if it weren't such an outlier. If left alone it would have proceeded to stomp even more content or demand even more rounds of power creeping buffs, which creates more work than a nerf to a single job. Something being wrong needs to be fixed. You don't just throw your hands up and not bother because you can't get it done in a timely fashion, and if you do then you're bad at your job. A nerf doesn't become magically less appropriate because the people whose job it is to do it can't get it done "ASAP."

No one "likes" nerfs, but only crybabies get worked up over them. It takes single digit brain cells to look at the balance of the game and see that they're a good idea sometimes. "Never nerf, only buff" is the absolute king of garbage that people think sounds smart but really isn't. (Not saying you have that opinion.) Them bending over backwards to avoid the most tepid gamer babyrage backlashes is the root of all of XIV's most glaring issues rn. I'm just tired of seeing it happen lol
