To be fair: RDM was my first job when I joined over 4+ years ago, and even when I joined when it was first released is the UK. I would class RDM as my main job, and favorite job at that. That being said, even I am doubting whether I'll be continuing playing it much longer. (I have most the gear I want, am capping my skills etc... but even I know that RDM adds nothing to the current endgame, and I'm only gimping my group by using it when I could use something that is better in the current content) Whether someone plays as the job has little relevance on their opinion of the job, in fact it could be argued as being more relevant as it means they find it no longer fun, or worthwhile to play as so something could potentially be wrong.
RDM was never the greatest job to begin with, the only thing it had over other jobs was the ability to extend it's MP pool via Refresh and Convert, that and Enfeebles actually worked on quite a few things.
Now these things are gone, RDM has shown it's age, and the fact it actually isn't all that.
Basically my point being: Just because someone has stopped playing as a job, they leveled and played as it enough to give their opinion on where they think it needs improvement. (This doesn't include when they insult other posters, this or people that only leveled it to SJ or lower)
