You've been playing this game for this long, but if RDM is a tank or DNC is a DPS or (whatever class/role combination it is you don't like), then that's it, you're out? Okay then.
While I personally have not made such a claim, I feel that I may be able to provide insight into this (obviously, I do not speak for everyone).

For me, I really dislike what they did to a lot of jobs in Heavensward. I am the kind of person that likes to change up jobs a lot. In 2.0-2.55, I went from WHM -> SMN -> SCH -> BRD -> BLM -> BRD -> SCH -> PLD -> SCH -> NIN -> SMN as my mains. That's 11 different mains over 5 major patches, so as you can see, I like to switch it up frequently. In 3.x, I only like SCH/SMN (WHM is decent too, but I prefer SCH). So, I've gone SMN -> SCH -> SMN so far. I'm itching to play something new, but I can't bring myself to play any other job. I'm really hoping that one of the new 3 jobs is something fun that I can switch to. If not, and there are no major changes to current combat mechanics to make something existing more fun for me, I may unsub for that reason.
