The problem with BLM are all the manaburn KS runs and even the occasional DM or KS99 runs. SE sees no merits in the an effortless win. They do not see the advantage of getting through any quest, mission or BCNM by stacking a single job and finishing moments after it starts. You can argue all you want, but from day one people have tried to do things the easy way by stacking one job and making conditions favorable for a small group. RNGs got nerfed because they were too powerful. They can attack kited and or straight tanked mobs while dealing top tier damage unlike all other melee jobs. Kirin became a full alliance of RNGs and a couple of PLDs to kite pushing aside any other job as second class. Post nerf people actually do SC and MB the way SE meant it to be.
Who does SC and MBs on Kirin? I never have. He's a kited mob, he moves too fast, and to stop him you need to absorb tons of damage. Why bother when you can kill him with less people the other way?
As for these 2 BCs you complain about(2 of hundreds), they are easy fights in the first place. Christ, get over it. Back when I started this game, the main BC to make gil off of was BCNM40. I leveled BRD to 40 just for that BCNM40. And I made good gil off of it. Each job has different situations that their own job becomes high demand.
Now the best money making BC requires Ninjas, another BCNM40. Drops the peacock charm. BELIEVE ME, you can make better gil off that BC than KS30.

SE had no intentions of making things easy for 1 job. They in the past nerfed KS30 Desert Swarm and made the mobs progressively more resistant to sleep, but they can only go so far before even 6 melee jobs have difficulty or even unable to do the KSNM. You want to blame anyone for the possible nerf, then blame any BLM who did abused the system. Odon wants to blame others, but he gave them all the idea to take advantage of a system. Check out the prices of normal drops of Desert Swarm compared to those of Copy Cat and you will see a dramatic drops in price. BLM manaburn KS runs killed those KS fight by doing 30+ consecutive runs in a couple of hours while a melee setup doing 6 or 7 runs in a few hours. No other job is able to pack on one job and charge for runs, so why does BLM get that right? You ask if I am jealous, but let me ask you this: If I could make gil with relatively no effort and the only prerequisite was to level a job I enjoyed versus you who would rather not level that same job and is forced to work a hundred times harder for the same gil or less, would you still see that as fair? There is not only that, but many of the KS are so abused by the BLM manaburn that even those who would use their orbs in the KS runs, walk away with nothing more than a few thousand gil after they spent time farming those seals. Occasionally one person does get lucky and obtains a V Claw, but how many people? 1/8? 1/10? But hey, what does a BLM have to worry? 30+ runs and more than likely several D Ingot, D cloth , O Ingot dropped and they are rich.
When the very opening post and apply that logic here. Why should i be forced to level THF to camp NMs, if square doesn't want you to level BLM to cannon KS30.
CHRIST IS THIS THE ONLY KINDRED SEAL FIGHT IN THE UNIVERSE??? BLM HAVE ONE THING AND THE WORLD IS CRUMBLING??? Thieves have what... EVERY NM???

This nerf has nothing to do with what you or I want and all to what SE wants. If they want to nerf you because they think you are abusing the system, they will nerf you because you ARE abusing the system. It is their system and the way it was meant to be played is their perspective. When it all comes down to it, their opinion is the one that matters most. Proof is all in the RNG and BST nerfs, if you disagree. Whether you think you are just stacking odds in your favor or someone else thinks you are abusing the way the game is meant to be played has no bearing at all, it's what SE thinks that matters. In this case, they think you are abusing the game and that's all that matters.
The nerf is because people bitch, bitch, bitch, bitch, bitch, bitch about a mission BC and a single gil making BC.
BC are by their nature NOT COMPETITIVE. By me entering a BC it doesn't mean you need to wait 24 hours for the burning circle to repop. NMs on the other hand are totally competitive, and you don't hear BLM bitching that squaresoft should nerf all the NMs so they are just as good at making gil as THFs.
You're talking about how it's wrong that since you want to stack BLMs to do Ks30 it means you need to level BLM to do it. Well guess what, you can do divine might and you can do KS30 easily without a single BLM.
If I camp NM as a BLM, there are fights I can't win solo that a THF can. And their drop rate will be higher. Squaresoft forces me to level THF to camp NMs just as much as it forces you to level BLM to do KS30. Why the god damn double standard easy win. Otherwise they would just make KS runs like a casino slot machine; give the machine your orb and walk away a winner or loser with no actual effort needed.
