No one is going to do 1/5, or any variation of that. 5/5 is the only way they are powerful enough to be worth it. Please stop saying people can do 1/1.

And yet we still see plenty of Galka NIN, taru WAR, ppl lv both PLD and BLM and so on. Are they play their job to fullest potential? No. But they still play different jobs and aim to get better and make up the small difference with gears/skill.

You already can't be best at everything in this game, and I don't see how ppl would ended up getting through the game with lowest merits and worst gear.

The only problem with merit WS is 1/5~3/5 or maybe even 4/5 are not worth getting, therefore there aren't much choice to make. If 1/5 is still good enough and worth getting it, I don't see how this can be a problem at all. It's not like the end of the world if one of your job doing is 100 less dmg with 1/5 than ppl with 5/5.
Yes, there are already very small choices that must be made when meriting basic stats. Nobody calls that fun. They just deal with it. Not one single person has ever ever ever said "Hey SE, do you guys think you could add more category caps, and make the merits MORE specific, so that I have absolutely no chance off being good at both a mage and a DD class on the same character? I'm really tired of the temptation to do both.". Nobody likes that. they just accept it.

Why merit anything at all if you don't care that your jobs does less damage than others?
