Also, I should point out I heal content all the time as my Red Mage. I've never had any players try to give me the boot because I'm not worth as much as a White Mage to them simply because they can heal better.

Not all players measure others in the same way you seem to. And it would be a huge mistake for the developers to try and equalize all jobs in an attempt to appease this kind of thinking. I've seen what it can lead to and I would prefer not to see that kind of shallow gameplay come to this game. Because I like job diversity and how different jobs have strengths and weaknesses. And it's not worth giving that up just because some players can't be bothered to accommodate each other and learn to work as a team to overcome weaknesses and instead just choose to concentrate on the jobs with singular strengths and ignore everyone else.

As far as Samurais being so massively over-powered, I just haven't noticed it. But since so many people feel so strongly about it I'll admit there is probably some work to be done here. I just think it's being exaggerated and players are needlessly obsessing over it even to the point they won't even group with other DD jobs who now feel they don't even contribute. And that is probably why you don't see the developers coming out of their boots to rush to solve it. I doubt it's because all of the developers play Samurai. They probably realize it's being blown out of proportion as well and will probably just do minor tweaks in an effort to gradually stem the madness.
You clearly have no idea what you are talking about. That has to be the most infuriating part about your posts. You Don't know what you are talking about, how the jobs are unbalanced, or how people are actually playing, but you still act like you do. The two of you arguing this entire time is pretty annoying, but at least Afania knows about the game mechanics, which is the topic of this topic. Or I think that was the topic before all the nonsense started. Either you are some sort of troll, in which case congratulations on the amount of trolling you accomplished, or you need to work on being informed before hitting reply.
