[Dev1235] Job Adjustments

[Dale]

I am pretty confident that good players could beat normal mode fights with decent gear despite playing inefficiently. It would not shock me in the least to see a bunch of WHM/NINs meleeburn every N fight and probably quite a few D ones too. Or shield WARs and bow SAM/RNGs. However, there is absolutely no incentive to shout for such a player.

There is a major lack of organizers in the NA community on Lakshmi right now, to the extent that I get people joining my shouts regularly without comments because they just have nothing else to do. It is a shouter's market, so why shout for or accept a pink THF that offhands Ridll because he wrestled it from the clutches of the mighty wyrm Fafnir? Might as well get someone else and ensure that the other 6 players in your group have a better experience as a result.

Not even normal fights to aid in your point. I've done difficult mode battlefields with a pair of dragoons before.

I think the real problem here is a lot of players are simply unable to defeat content unless under the most ideal and easiest conditions. And instead of admitting to this, they pretend they are just really good players who want to be as efficient as possible and that's why they only play with the most ideal set ups for any occasion. I could be wrong. But it's really the only explanation I can come up with that makes sense to me.
