Then you can say the issue would be people wouldn't focus on mechanics but I don't think that would be the case because people would still want to clear content.
Imo the bigger issue than the mechanics is the job disparity. Certain jobs can do more dps than the other jobs - they may get some additional utility instead but that is not important.

If people see that class x is doing more dps than class y then they are bound to complain. I wonder how is SE going to handle that? Because I don't think saying "but you get this awesome buff/debuff" is going to calm the mob down.
