Why complain about balance - recent job changes.

Correct but maybe you will explain why not. If those jobs were useful maybe people would play them. They took a picture of the jobs distribution at a given time, probably prime. This englobes exp and endgame altogether then. It is representative. You'll never find more cor than blm etc. The system is based on 6 man parties, including alliances that are split into 3x6, so you have to choose 6 jobs out of 20 almost always.

I find that the best way to repel trolls is to confuse them ;)

EDIT: You've also heard of fighting fire with fire I assume lol.

Turn them on each other if you have enough trolls.

You'll never find more COR than BLM because the class is inherently expensive to maintain and was released years after BLM.

Pre-Abyssea, COR was one of the most useful jobs you could use in an alliance setup and worked beautifully alongside a BRD in a party setup. The same will be true post Abyssea as well.

You also have to keep in mind that those survey numbers include more then just jobs at 75.

Half the reason War, Mnk, Thf, Whm, Blm, and Rdm are at the top of the list is simply because everyone starts as those jobs so every ones lower level alts are included in that poll as well I believe.

if WHM/BLM/RDM are the most played jobs, how come when I try to form a party all I see is WAR WAR MNK MNK SAM NIN NIN SAM WAR MNK DRG?

Healer shortage.

There's no shortage. WHM, according to that (2 year old) census, is the most played job out of them all.

Of course, I suppose there ends up being a percieved shortage, since 2/3 of all WHM are /anon all the time. how ironic that they play a popular job that everyone needs, and subsequently hide themselves from everyone.
