    Because that's a whole heap of nonsense, the game has never really been like that at all. What did BST solo other than 1-75 and a few, select nms? The game has always been tiered like that, and all I want is for some of those tier lists to be changed. I don't actually think THF should surpass sam, but it's not even close, and the benefits of th don't fix that. Jobs should be closer to each other, not equal.

    Jobs should be able to participate in all content, and it should be effective. It's not effective to do a Marjami run without a group of rangers, what I want it a situation where, because you've shouted for an hour already, someone goes "Well we might as well shout for x" not "Oh we might as well stop shouting."

    Using the 75 model now is so baffling to me, it's not the same game, and some of the jobs should be reflected to change that. Because it's a waste of dev time to create solo content that won't give good rewards.

    All I can say is I don't agree with you, but it seems that I have a very different POV toward FFXI. I don't view FFXI as a "raid based MMO" that the entire game is designed and balanced based on endgame raid and the sole purpose of playing the game is to do raid and get gear. ARR was like that and I hated it. I view it more like a virtual world where ppl just live in the game, and raid/endgame being one of many things you do in game. IMO, solo dyna, salvage, solo PW for gil, do AA BC is also part of the game and this game isn't delve only.

    There are plenty of solo content that give good rewards. You build R/M/E with dyna/salvage, you can solo PW and sell scoria for gil, not every job can do that. Those are all part of the game IMO. This game shouldn't be 6 man content only.

    In ARR, they removed elemental dmg resistance so every DD has equal performance in instance content. If you want that kind of game may as well play ARR. But FFXI is never a game like that, it's designed in a way that some job has better performance in certain situation and you NEED to job change if you're in different situation. If you can't find a situation that your job can shine, you should ask the dev to create the situation that your job shines, instead of asking the dev to change the job so they're all the same.

    I agree.

    Will also add; as a old school bst; those solos were extremely slow and painful, lol. Ppl assume that bst was this monstrous job whom steam rolled through NMs; even abyssea NMs took some time to kill. We only soloed them because nobody invited bst, lol.
