No, SE is supposed to make sure their classes are balanced in such a way that weird metas that sideline certain classes don't become the norm.

Honestly, I don't really understand what is so different about this game that somehow players became obsessed with every single class dpsing as much as possible. I pop over to WildStar and play my healing esper - no one's going to expect me to dps, though I right click on things for the lols at times. Sure I bring my t4 pyrokinetic flame buff, but no one ever thinks that healers should be doing more dps in that game. Same for other MMOs I've played in the past. Why did this become such a huge thing in FFXIV? It's not like FFXIV has particularly innovative boss encounters that somehow require everyone to dps...
