    That's the kind of novice thinking that doomed FF14. What are you peter pan?

    There is no such thing as "I want to be different but at the same time fit in with everyone" and so on.

    You are have to play by the system rules to be balance, and the system itself defines your experience. It's paradoxical in nature. You can't have both. So let the voice of experience make the hard choices instead, of chasing never never land.

    I was actually referring to reality. In real life, people are VERY diverse when they are allowed to be. This is because they can (more or less) be themselves. When you build a system that artificially imposes "balance" and implements restrictions, you get something not unlike communism. I'm not saying that communism is bad, or that communist societies are bad. But I think I can argue that they are low on the totem pole when it comes to diversity.

    And the OP is asking about diversity.
