If I may chime on the RO thing.... wasn't the majority of RO's population pretty lax when it came to individual builds? I mean, you could party with up to 15 other players, which would lead to party diversification. Then again, I played more of my time on private servers after leaving RO official servers before renewal. Builds don't really have a place in FFXIV. Yeah, we've been modifying our stats through crafted gear for endgame raiding but the way the FFXIV is designed, there's literally like one optimal way to play in a party setting because it really is a numbers game and the only "choice" we have is what job we bring to the table.
