    The current best set up of jobs work for now because they give you the most bang for your bucks. Of course the downside to this means that half of the other jobs are not seen as useful - for low group farming - but usually fine when you go with 8 people set up. You can always level those jobs - with abyssea - it is very fast to get to lvl 90.
    This is something I refuse to do. Maybe I'm just stubborn :P But then I deal with it, I think people are here to enjoy the game therefore are here to level jobs they enjoy playing. There's plenty of ways to enjoy the jobs you like, but it can be at the cost of not proccing. The best you can hope for is to be good at your favourite job and hope to get a reputation for it...90% of the time, I'm a SCH even I can't cure as well as a good WHM or cover as many procs as a Black Mage. Most people I group with have the attitude that they'd rather invite people who can play their job well rather than somebody who can hit the right procs.

    This is usually the answer if you go with friends/link shell/ people who know you. The only people who insist on the perfect "5 person" setup is those shouting in Jueno. If you go with friends there is room for a lot of variety by either taking 6 people or just plain missing 1 or 2 procs. Abyssea is so easy who cares really. I organize all the statics in my linkshell and I often have people coming "off jobs" like drk for example and all we lose is raiden thrust on red procs compared to war. (Staff as well, but I am usually white mage with capped staff skill and I throw on VV atma)

    From the day pickups started there has always been the "most perfect setup" that the shouters only wanted. Who can forget the 4 sam, rdm bard Nyzul boss run shouts, or colibri merit parties where at least 1/2 the jobs were not wanted. If they change the system it will just be a new 5 or 6 jobs shouted for. Sorry that the red mage types cannot believe they are not the no. 1 job in one event now, but those are the breaks. In a game with 20 jobs those shouting for randoms will always have a preference.

    Quantity, quantity, folks not quality, Knowing a job you enjoy and play well that comes in second. Once I understood this I was much better off. So I guess the summary would be level the chore jobs (mine is whm) you are going to need it if you want to play.
