Not really, people often pigeonholed jobs into a particular nitch if they think it's more practical or useful. Most real non-Bandwagon RDM's and BRD's pre-Abyssea despised Exp/Merit parties because the general populus forced them into something that limited their versatility or what they could do. And it is hard to go from enfeebling, buffing, healing, nuking, MB, and even the occasional melee scenario, to just healing and occasionally buffing.

When Abyssea had came out and hp reached higher than 3k+, Cure IV would'nt cut it. Atmas gave melees such power that mobs die too quick to warrent enfeebles in most situations, and the increased resistances and immunities to enfeebles furhter hindered our strengths in that aspect. Then to top it off, even the need for refresh has greatly dwindled because of Atmas and /RDM. All in all the game and the players put RDM in an uncompromisng position leaving them with little to do.
