Ehem... Not seeing this as a problem as ninja right now is contending for the highest DPS. It's called balancing: some jobs are good dps for short fights, while others are good for longer fights (like T8 was). That being said, the real reason to purposely make jobs starve of TP and MP is to put use to the support skills by the lower dps jobs. Otherwise those baseless arguments of no one letting bards and machinists in their groups will have some standing.

There's reason why SE said Bard damage is fine (and didn't even comment on Machinist damage), and the reason being is that in real raids, they will be required and it's the casters who will now get the shaft seeing as people can just stack 3 melee for more damage (ranged LB already does more than caster LB). In the end, you complain about bards and machinists, but there will never be groups with both BLM and SMN if the groups have a reason to include casters at all.
