Maybe instead of complaining that RNG is nerfed and useless, you could join in on figuring out exactly how to play RNG after the update? Just a thought.

There is a lot of testing to be done and it looks like very few of us are going to be willing to do that. I'm actually glad so many people quit because honestly if you can't even figure out how to make RNG work after the update then that probably means you're just one of those players who spams their macros without doing any kind of thinking at all.
Test things out and explore different gear setups. Use the full range of what is available to you instead of just complaining that an update "nerfed" your "favorite job." If you complain after a single update then that tells me you never really understood the entire point of this game is to explore and experiment. I know people always like to pull out "but the fact is that everything else is a better option..." is a poor excuse to me. You don't get to decide what is and isn't viable in the game. Nasomi is the only one who holds all the answers so it's up to us to figure out which gear pieces to wear and how to develop a play strategy to accommodate the update. That's the ENTIRE POINT of the game, in case you've deluded yourself into thinking that the only point of the game is to get the cookie cutter equipment list you found in a forum post and check each item off the list, spamming your macros every single fight using absolutely zero strategy whatsoever.
Nabutso? Is that you? I thought you went and joined the aryan brotherhood....

ignoring that this is one of the best examples of fundamentally not understanding a job on FFXI, the update didn't "nerf" RNG. It murdered it.
As for Nasomi being the only one that holds all the answers, I'm pretty certain that Nas still doesn't actually understand why RNG is a dead job now. It wouldn't be the first time that he believed he was doing something that was very obviously not what he was doing to people that play the game more than he does.
