Why do Ninja and Monk use different gear?

I don't like how BRD/MCH/NIN have to share accessories. In 4 man dungeons, tank and healer always get 100% drop if it's for their job. DRG/MNK and BLM/SMN have a smaller chance to meet another DPS that they have to fight for the loots.

I feel sorry for dex-user but rest assure,the next new dps job will be str-user or int-user.

Next dps HAS to be a mage in some way or form.
We got 2 magic dps vs how many physical now?

Well 6, but it's pretty unfair as physical DPS encompasses a much larger amount of potential classes than magic based ones from what I can tell, and ranged physical DPS plays more similarly to magic than melee does. Lack of positionals (I don't think ranged/magic have positionals?), etc. But if it's RDM, then yeah it's probably a magic melee class, and we don't have one of those currently.

The only reason I can see item drops being more rewarding is because you've grinded the content again and again, and started to lose hope that it'll ever drop, but then it finally does drop and you're excited. That's from my personal experience anyway, but token systems are much more fulfilling, I can work towards something that involves no, or less RNG, and getting the item that way feels just as good to me.

it doesn't have to. they don't care to balance magic vs physical because parties aren't built that way.

parties are built with 2 tanks, 2 healers, 2 melee, 2 ranged almost all of the time. currently there are 3 tanks, 3 healers, 3 melee, 4 ranged. the next 3 jobs should be 1 tank, 1 healer, 1 melee, that would make 4 of everything.

and the next melee can be physical (SAM) or magical (RDM, BLU)
