remove 18 jobs?

[Nelyus]

FFXI has 22 jobs, why make only 4 really count?
(PLD WHM BRD RNG) with maybe a little of MNK & COR?
Is it possible to make game content accessible to all jobs?
So people don't ask only for RNG all the times?

[Draylo]

RNG and PLD were non existent for the most part, like 4 months ago. The job demand changes all the time, you are able to bring any job you want with friends though so try making some?

What about bst, Dray?

[Zarchery]

Here's 2 ideas:

1) Don't post suggestions about the game in the "Website Feedback and Suggestions" forum. This is for suggestions about the actual Final Fantasy 11 website.

2) If you're not one of the jobs that are popular, make your own parties. I do it all the time. Being a party leader is more stressful than being a passive member. As a reward for doing it, you get to choose how your party is built. You can't have your cake and eat it too. You either take the easy road and play one of the popular jobs so you can be passive or you run your own parties and choose who you want.

The reason certain jobs are so popular is because party leaders are generally risk-averse and want what is perceived as the party combination with the best shot at winning. So they pack parties with these jobs even when it doesn't really make much sense.

Like Draylo said, job demands change all the time. PLD and RNG are the flavor of the month. I don't remember them being so popular a year ago. I remember when NIN was all the rage because evasion and blink tanking beat the cures demanded by PLD. I remember when people wanted the versatility of RDM (with Dispel, Refresh, Convert, enfeebling and black magic abilities) over the specialization of WHM. I remember when Manaburning with a lot of BLM was popular.

Some jobs still require quite a few buffs to to do "certain" content. Examples being run, bst, geo, and pup which all seem lack accuracy or somekind of survivability.

Those Rangers just don't have to worry about AoE dmg which helps them considerably.

Play Ranger sometime, low vit, low eva, low hp, low def, high enmity, and all the survivability of a turtle on a hot road during rush hour traffic. Ramger has a lot more things to worry about than AOEs, let the tank lose hate during the two minutes decoy shot is down, and geuss who the mob kills, not the pup bst geo or run, they race straight for the rng.

High enmity huh? Not sure about that with a certain relic... but the other stuff I understand. They may not be that great at soloing, but they have so much more going for them reason why they are #1 invited dd to most content now.

With the exception of Voidwatch Ranger has been left out in the cold for 8 years now. Some of the jobs in the op weren't even in existence when ranger got the nerf which virtually killed it for endgame content.

It's rng this year so far, next year hell next month for that matter the new flavor of the month may be some other job, it really depends on the cont. If you want to do everything all the time, level brd, whm, or sch, maybe cor, those jobs are wanted all the time at all content and have been forever

A friend and person in my linkshell has used RUN to tank every new Delve NM in place of a PLD and has done so successfully. It is sometimes a player mindset, not just a developer issue. Some jobs do need buffs, I won't disagree with that though. If you have any suggestions that don't involve nerfs then that would be refreshing. VW forced people to bring different jobs at the start but everyone hated that.
