Making Jobs Rotationally Easier in 4.0

[CookieMonsta]

paid actors huh?

Perfect balance is a lie, the sooner you wake up to that fact, the sooner you will see that FFXIV has done an absolutely stellar job of maintaining some semblance of viability.
As long as RPGs have existed with multiple, different classes, there has and will always be a meta towards highest efficiency. This is the path of least resistance to overcoming difficult content.

Do you know why the DPS meta existed and why it continues to persist? because it is the path of least resistance. Mechanics and coordination are extremely difficult to sustain, it is most often easier to just end the fight faster so that you do less mechanics. The only thing Gordias did was making that DPS a "requirement" as opposed to a "bonus". But as long as killing the boss faster is the path of least resistance, all jobs will be judged on their raid DPS contribution.

The Devs introducing more jobs will simply give more options when it comes to perfecting a composition to take a boss down fast, the DPS meta is not going away any time soon.
