On the subject of personal, though... Personal satisfaction could mean those things, to you. However, they don't apply to the masses. Others can enjoy whatever they like in MMOs. "Typically," what I enjoy more in an MMO, second to having fun, is innovation. Making the same old, feel new, despite having recycled mechanics. Most MMOs are boring four-role games that hardly hold any interest without content. And most don't even offer content other than loot fests. The two FF MMOs have strayed slightly from the "job growth" aspect, and focused more on character growth. But that's another discussion entirely, and one that many argue vehemently against FFXIV being a character/story-driven game.

As far as RDM is concerned, it feels like no other job that is in the game at this point. That's what I like about it. It's different. People tend to not like things that are different, and we get threads like this. But like when they added COR, BLU, and later DNC to FFXI... It was the same old game, but those jobs made it feel fresh. When they added DRK, AST, MCH, and even SAM to this game, they all felt the same (to me) as other jobs. Namely WAR, WHM, BRD and MNK. If RDM is "simple," though, then I hope they make more "simple" jobs. Because this simple little RDM is simply fun.
