Wish FF14 would transition to FFE job/skill system

I think the popularity of MOBAs nowadays is that it's more like a sport - teamwork, watchable by an audience, quick fast matches. Easier to market to non-hardcore gamers. ESPECIALLY the viewing aspect
You know what's not interesting to watch? People leveling up a crafter, or doing a dungeon 200 times.

Anyway you can't compare MOBA and MMORPG balance since they are two different genres with different setups. Might as well compare FFXIV and Starcraft or something.

The point is not to compare MOBA with MMO. The point is that a game that isn't completely "balanced" doesn't necessarily mean its not fun. I think people are forgetting that games are supposed to be fun lol.

Know what isn't fun? Being denied raid (or even EXP party) spots because you're not playing a desirable class. Go read up on FFXI's history (and current state) regarding undesirable jobs.

As a DRG, it wasn't unusual to have to wait weeks to get exp party invites before Treasures of Aht Urgan was released. Even then, it took a fairly large overhaul to make two handed DPS comparable to Dual Wielding DPS outside of very specific situations. As a trade off, Blackmages were basically unusable in EXP set-ups and were only used in raids when zerging wasn't an option.

So much fun if you're maining one of the undesirable classes, look at all that content no one wants to bring you to.

And every MMO has been plagued with this issue at one time or another. The only one I've played that hasn't is Blade and Soul, and that's because it's a completely different beast.
