"Balance" is attained via both nerfs and buffs and which you use depends entirely on which is easier to do. If BLM and SMN are currently in a good spot compared to the melees and physical ranged DPS, then it's far easier to bring RDM down than to bring those two up, because then you also need to address every other DPS, at which point you made adjustments to 8 classes just to not nerf one. That's unreasonable. And the same argument goes if you'd try to argue to bring everyone down to MCHs current level instead of buffing it.

If you want balance, you can't be concerned about or afraid of nerfs. Nobody likes their class being nerfed, sure, and everyone likes riding the OP train, but if you actually want balance, you gotta stop caring about that and do the unpopular decisions sometimes. Whether that is the case right now - Honestly, I have no idea. I'm just talking general principle here.
