What about the other jobs?
So, looking over the Damage Dealing section of the forum I came across this thread http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/th...s-are-relevant from 4 months ago, and found it to still be relevant today. Why? Because over half of the jobs in this game are never utilized for new game content. However, to be completely honest, this isn't just a 4 month long issue, this is a FFXI lifetime issue. For example, why are PUP and DRG still LOLjobs? Did they not receive any updates? If they did, apparently the updates weren't enough. SMN was once considered a great source of reliable/consistent DPS, but is no longer invited and not even considered a DD by many. MNK is now the best magic DD? What? Why even release GEO and RUN when they supposedly aren't up to "par" with PLD/BRD in game?
Once again, why is that? Are people simply unable to think outside of the box? Are the other jobs not able to perform up to par with the other jobs? You tell me.
Why can't people play the jobs they want and enjoy the content as well? Why are they instead pigeonholed into playing one of the select few jobs wanted for content? Why so much endgame content focused on 6-man parties? If there were room for more than 6, then other jobs might actually get invited. 6-man parties are severely limiting and force people to be too selective.
