When your game revolves around raiding and gear stats of course there will be optimal rotations and classes people want. FFXI was a different breed because it didn't follow the same old song and dance most games have been following since the release of WoW, which is what made FFXI such an amazing and unique MMO.
FFXI was different, yes. In that players demanded optimal jobs with the correct FOTM sub jobs, optimal abilites and optimal gear with optimal gear for gear swaps,

FFXI was a lot more limiting on what you could do due to the players bias to a limited number of jobs. Then again, balance was a joke between jobs in FFXI.

If raid leader orders you to switch jobs or GTFO. Then are they really the kind of people you want to spend time with to make threats like that?
