Only if only one build is effective. Even with min/maxing that is not always the case.Quote:

Sure, it's not like the same rules would apply here. We're only dealing with human beings after all.Quote:

I am not one to conform to others. Also, I'm not some idiot who just puts stats anywhere. Obviously I would build thuamaturge towards int and conjurer towards mnd and not add things like str and dex for a mage build.Quote:

This is only a concern when the way you build your character affects others as well. You can be a goth or a hippie or a nerd but if you suddenly decide to not follow the norms of the society you'll get shit for it. People simply aren't going to bother dealing with you. Here you expect them to do so, when they have no reason to.Quote:

You'll be forever restricted to the small group of people being capable of dealing with your kind, so yeah- better not bitch about it when somebody doesn't accept you to his or her group. You had it coming. -

Well as long as I'm able to play my role effectively why should it matter? Shoot, I can pretty much heal during Ifrit hard mode wearing nothing but a pumpkin head and swmisuit. When I'm not being silly, I use a Felt Robe (green) while healing instead of the red robe that has 6 mnd. Am I gimp for losing out on ONE healing potency? I dont think so.

Your definition of "effectively" may be different from others'. Just like what melee RDM's used to say back in XI, that they can do their job "effectively" when all of them became shit at their job just so they could play as unique butterflies, without an exception.
If you aren't willing to bend for others don't expect others to bend for you either.
