MOST players actually play the jobs they want to play for the content they go to, not the jobs they are told to.

Most players are also not very good at FFXI.

I love how the first counter to being told you're in the minority, is to insult the majority. It really shows what kind of person you really are.

If we're going to be bitter and cynical. Do you really think your 'skill' in the game matters to SE's bottom line? Putting on airs over a PVE MMO with no real end reward (unless you sell your accounts to RMT.) is kinda sad.

People play this game for personal enjoyment, period. Trying to establish yourself into some imaginary pecking order is how you get your kicks, go ahead, but don't pretend like it actually matters.

From the developer's perspective, they try to listen to ALL their players. And if it means having to choke a decision they make that you don't like, that's what you do.

tl;dr

Some of you guys are impossible to talk to. You either talk down to people who disagree with you or instantly label them as trolls. Anyway, PLDs melee for extra hate not damage and BLUs are in melee range to cast their high damage BLU magic. You ussually wont see BLU DD on a lot of the things we dont want RDMs DDing on either even though their output potential higher than what a RDMs is AND BLUs aren't generally depended on for cures or na spells or buffs so when they get stoned or paraed or silenced its not a huge deal. I feel like you were really proud of yourself when you came up with your BLU/PLD/RDM argument but it doesn't make much sense.

You make it sound like this is something exclusive to the RDM melee crowd. Hell, it's not even exclusive to Red Mages in general. Welcome to the internet.

RDM shouldn't be relied on for those either seeing as how they don't have native access to them.

Yeah we should all be subbing NIN and meleeing in our awesome af3 with awesome melee stats while wiffing 75% of the time and hitting for 2-10, giving the mob unlimited TP then being 1 shot by a random AOE

[Insaniac]

No, we shouldn't be dual wielding because RDM doesn't get that trait natively.

Okay, we get it, you don't melee on Rdm or care to ever, but this post is still full of idiocy or shows you've only seen people who fulltime gear meleeing. I'm not going to be jaded and say Rdm melee is good on higher level mobs but the situation you're describing only happens if you're gimp beyond help swinging a bronze dagger or something equally retarded.

You can't whiff and give the mob unlimited TP. If you're getting one shot on rdm/nin meleeing or not, chances are you're doingitrong.

Yeah t4 voidwatch mobs don't nearly 1 shot melee, ever!
