You see the problem, well not really a problem, the situation you are bring up is really two-fold what SE believes is an actual do-able path and what the community feels is the most efficient way to do the path.

Your argument lacks causation due to the following reasons; SE created this run very unique so that ANYONE could do it provided that the PLAYER would do WHATSOEVER they had to do, to get in. That includes leveling additional jobs if NECESSARY or re-tuning or re-aligning certain merits, getting the absolute best DD gear possible if you didn't already have any Delve base gear and doing what you can to get in where you fit in. As indicated in your post, the back-door to a Delve run if you don't have a Delve weapon is as a Mage, although many DD's at heart don't want to do this, but YOU MAY HAVE TO if you want IN, real simple.

If you are NOT willing to do whatsoever it takes to get into a Delve run, the problem is not SE or the Community it is the person who isn't willing to do whatever it takes to get in...period!

This is why I have Lv.99 All Jobs with capped skills and full merits, and I have AF3+1 for all jobs minimum, and full AF3+2 for about 12 jobs, along with Neo Nyzul, and an assortment of VoidWatch gear including some from Provenance. Just enough decent gear to participate in any Endgame Event,

Now I am not saying one should level all jobs to 99 like I did, but at least the ones you know will get you in most events.

I knew a long time ago, its best to be safe (have a lot of jobs/options) than to be sorry (be adamant about having a few jobs/few options).

The choice is yours, because frankly I seriously doubt SE is going to nerf this anymore than they already have.
Good luck and I hope everyone makes it to Delve.

Peace!
I sell Televisions. If you do everything in your power to make them work correctly, they will show you the best picture you have ever seen. You need to hold several wires in the correct positions and balance the TV perfectly with your hands and feet. This requires several people to do. Want to buy one?

See, most people would say that my TV business is failing because I made a stupid design that most people hate and that requires several people to do something they have no desire to do in order to achieve a small amount of pleasure, but you are my target market, because you say "It's not the TV. You're just holding it wrong.".

Sorry. This is just bad design. There is a certain amount of "You have to do X in order to do Y" that people will tolerate because they want to progress like leveling another job, or farming a certain amount of items. SE has found the spot where most people draw the line and flown over it in a fighter jet.
