Do you honestly believe that SE's intention all along was to make thief, dancer, warrior, black mage, monk, and white mage the only needed jobs in Abyssea? If so, you are sadly mistaken. As more content is added, the job pyramid shifts in unforeseen ways. It has before, it has now, and will keep on happening.
Which is why it's stupid to pigeonhole yourself onto 1 job. Level other jobs and make your own groups and you won't have these problems.
