I never said that all skills and builds are useful in RO, there should have some common sense. In RO it's possible to level a wizard full melee, would take forever and would be useless - for obvious reasons -, but it is possible. The same for Turn Undead builds, its for fun, for leveling, no one recommend this build since 2006, same as battle priest. But they were not useless in "majority of content", they just lacked some buffs at max level, like Impositiu Manus, and had less HP in turn for faster casts that could be useful for support, I actually leveled with alot of Magnus Exorcismus priests in Biolabs 3, their fast casts were really useful. That doesnt mean that there is only ONE effective build, thats spreading misinformation, there is multiple builds for a Full Support priest, there is multiple builds for the same purpose, for the same X oriented build.
More VIT be able to tank that weak guillhotine fist in WoE? Or should I have more dex to be able to cast that assumptio faster in PvM content? Should I use Long Mace to negate ranged damage or a rod with 4 fabres for a faster cast? I will need STR to carry more potions to survive 1h~2h inside the castle in WoE?
In renewal theres even more possibilities for a priest, and priest are one of the classes with less customization in RO. An archbishop could choose from ALL attributes in renewal, even LUK is useful to prevent negative status like Howling Mandragora.
Excuse-me, but I have never seen a unique build in RO that the community accepted as the only right way to build, and I played in hardest content where players were always trying to optimize their characters. Similar builds? Sure. The exact same build? Veeery rarely. Even in old times was accepted for a wizard to give up on some DEX to put some vit to be not perma stunned by dancers in WoE. Others would prefer full dex to cast faster, all were accepted, some prefered, still it was really rare to see people with the exact same attributes and skills. Almost all were useful. Some would be a little more in certain content, others a little less, etc... and the list goes on.
Also, my final .02c: Please, bring me THE BEST FULL SUPPORT SORCERER BUILD, if it is so accepted in the community, you will find the perfect build written with a quick google search. Point is: If you are saying that is impossible to bring customization to FFXIV, then I agree, fine. But saying that its impossible in any MMO is a blatant lie, not all MMOs are based on math only. For most maybe, but every? This is streching it.
Most Ragnarok players could list 2001 reasons of why they stopped playing RO. Lack of customization is not one of them.
ps: sorry for my bad english, its not perfect, but I'm sure you can understand at least.
