First of all: If LB make it or break it in CT you are doing something wrong. Only boss it really matters on is King Behemoth where good LB can prevent the third meteor from landing making up incase the DPS screwed up with killing the mobs. Otherwise most of the bosses eighter have to low HP for it to matter or are simple tank and spank bosses. Yes, I include the bomb boss aswell in that one. Sure, LB can cover up if one group is made of full BRDs and the other is a mix of SMNs and MNKs who are both blind and deaf when people tell them to attack the other bosses when they have like 20% damage left and theirs are on the brink of dying.
Second: This change is not bad at all. It encourages all classes to see play. It might suck in DF, but it is nothing that make or break any Duty Finder available fight.

The penalty for having multiple of the same class shouldn't exist at all.

I remember a time i have done ifrit with DF.
I come with my warrior, and i meet another warrior (will not be easy for the stun), two white mage, and 4 bard.
And when the nail pop, we wipe because the only lb we can launch is heal and the tank one aren't enough.
We all die and the bard say, why the meteor didn't show up ? The guys didn't know that was a limitbreak, he was thinking that happen everytime. When i tell him, he left, so i did :p -

I whole heartily agree.
It is one thing if I create a group with 4 BLMs sure you can penalize me for that, but when YOU gave me 4 BLM's how was that my fault and why should I be penalized. Like most things in this game Feature A totally forgets or ignores Feature B. Take for example your armoire, when you create a new item and insert it into the DB etc you can add the flags for armoire storable at that time. In fact one could even argue not doing so upfront and having to go back and do it costs extra time and money from a development side detracting from what people should be working on however why do we always have to beg and plead to get items updated AFTER every holiday event? Why, Because again A ignores B and B ignores A.
I wonder if people there just really hate each other and refuse to talk to the person sitting next to them, its the only reason I can think of why there is so much disconnect between A and B in this game. Where the LB change is a good idea on paper to help with premade prejudice which might occur the fact they totally forgot to update the DF algorithm to not stack multiple classes in your group or disable this 'penalty' when using the DF is just another example of "oversight" on their part. -

They could leave it as is but I think it should be universally apply to 3 or more of the same job instead of 2+.......with the current setup requiring you to have one of every tank type and healer type, as well as all but one type DPS in the entire game this is really a unnecessary "feature" given the low # of jobs to choose from with the party size being so large. It's not reasonable to apply a penalty like this with so few jobs to choose from.

Would be nice if the Party LB change only affected your Party, not the Alliance.

Lol the bosses in CT reset your limit break like primals, this is not because of low buildup.
