This extends to more than just DPS as well RDM and SCH need to be better healers, not as good as WHM but closer and COR, GEO and SMN need to be more close to BRD in terms of support, and RUN needs to be closer to PLD in terms of tanking. All of those jobs do have their niches but I don't think someone should have to level another job in order to get into end game parties.

I know it's not hard to level another job but since it's so easy to level, a lot of times you get people that have 119 jobs with only maybe 8~10 hours logged on the job. You can't really expect them to perform nearly as well as someone who's played and loved that same job for several years.
This. I leveled COR to get into Delve parties but I'm never confident on it. And every time I try to work on say RNG or GEO, I'm overwhelmed at the thought of leveling, skilling, gearing, and LEARNING the job. The thought of joining a party on something I haven't played for a good while terrifies me. Shouts are happening now, but I don't have the right jobs/gear now. What happens when I am ready? Everyone has moved on. Like I rarely see Delve shouts now, or see COR asked for much. (granted, I'm on console and can't watch shouts all day)
