Encounters would be faceroll easy with 4 DPS so that you can clear them with 2 DPS. FFXI balanced this by the fact that more DPS meant more TP feed which meant more damage being taken. Though that also encouraged people to only bring the most efficient and damaging DPS classes.
Yeah, because what I'm suggesting is, you know, completely different to the concept of pre-formed parties today....where many places can be solo tanked and solo healed, with 6 dps, or whatever (eg. all primals but Ifrit Ex, Turn 2, Turn 5 (but with 2 healers))


The point being, pre-formed parties already allows for mixed make-ups making "balance Hell". The DF queue times are terrible, and we're resisting doing anything about it because of "balance Hell"?
