Positional Requirements for Melee DPS

[Snugglebutt]

Then play another job? I don't get it.

It's not always that simple, you might actually enjoy everything else about the job except one certain thing. Same thing applies to every aspect of the game whether fates, hunts, crafting, relic weapons or dungeons/raids etc. I actually find such things as people saying if don't enjoy x, y or z in a game then quit playing that character or quit playing the game to be very annoying. If the shoe was on the other foot and it was removed of which you then complain that it was something you enjoyed about the class, I am pretty sure you would not like people saying to you "well too bad...quit playing that one and go play another class".

It is not black and white whether talking about classes or jobs, gameplay features or just the game in general since it is always made up of many parts, some parts/aspects of such things you might enjoy while other not so much. People would rather ask a clock they like in general to be fixed by replacing one cog rather than be told to throw the clock out despite being only that one cog they want to replace within it.

The positional skill requirement to master it is actually only a very tiny fraction of the job since it makes hardly any difference until you hit EX and few highest tier raids. But no matter how tiny an aspect it is...if something about it makes the game less enjoyable for you then there is nothing wrong with expressing that in the hopes of which even that tiny thing will be changed to make you enjoy the class even more than before. It does not mean they have to change it just because someone would prefer it done another way but it is a valid reason to voice criticism even if does not get changed in the long run.

I understand what you are saying, and the easy answer/solution is to try a non melee job.

This way you don't have to worry about positional requirements quite as much.

I'm sure its safe to say that for all of us, there are things we don't like about the game, but I don't see positional requirements changing much in the near future. IF anything they are probably going to grow on the system they have already built - with new abilities / skills when the level cap is raised that require you to be in a specific position to be able to use or combo. I wouldn't expect less.
