We’ve already seen what has happened when it becomes meta for jobs to rush azones (ie post hellburn changes engineers) and its not grand, i dont think we want that again.

Changing azones or player behaviour are aboth outside the scope of the patch.
-- Well, you should be balancing around current player behavior, not whatever form of "balance" you're striving for here

It encourages rushing azones for gaming gear, which is exactly against what devs are aiming for

a) Three jobs start with access to the entirity of the station funds and a terminal that allows them to personally steal every single non-cash credit that anyone on the station has, at any time and with no retribution. They also start with guns and access to better things than any of the merchants sell.
-- The shit you're selling (stims, OHR) are vastly, vastly better than an e-gun
They're not doing it in game.
-- Yes they are, have you seen how often the AK and robusstec were rushed?
b) Even if that were to decome the de facto way to farm huge amounts of cash
-- "10,000,000 - Forged Katana", you know this is quite literally 33 starstones of cash on average, right?
(it isn't and can't be but let's pretend it can compete with syriline plants, for example) and it was commonly used, I don't see the problem.
-- The problem is that you're devaluing the credit to literally every other merchant available, and allowing people to buy batshit good gear
c) I'd rather you got said dev to say this than interpret what their goals are.
-- Sure!
