to adapt to a flawed class/job/mechanic/play-style is the same as saying "Square you did Good", and while everyone is adapting Square wont fix the flaws because everyone is playing/adapting, and that does not make a flawed game design good or acceptable.

i started my archer/bard fully aware that i will not be the best DPS wise, i like bards and bowman's and i have read the forum, but can have my fun with the class/job.
and again, i know that i am just a LvL27 Archer atm and that i am a beginner, and while i really love FFXIV i'm beginning to consider stopping to play at all because it is really discouraging to read about the changes made by Square to the class/job i want to play, but... as i am new to the game and love it i will "Try and See for myself" what a LvL60 Bard is like.
i just really hope that at the time i get to LvL60, Square will have fixed some if not all the flaws discussed in this thread, and thank you all for the discussion here in this thread and the forum because i get to know the classes/jobs quirks and flaws.

sorry for my English.
