    I think it's usually safe to assume that people asking that question aren't going to be pushing Savage content after a week or so.
    Generally I do think the question is stupid but in general terms if people are asking what role they should play; tank, healer, dps the question seems a bit more reasonable.
    'What's the best dps?': If you're asking you won't be playing it to that level. Simple. Or spend even less time Googling your answer. I can't tell you what you like – that's just weird.

    When a new player asks what they should play, the best answer is to try all the jobs and see what they enjoy. Because even if they had always played a job that's type A in other MMOs or whatever, they may find something new to enjoy here. And being able to try and level all jobs on one character is a huge benefit in this game.

    When an experienced player asks what they should play, then they should already know what they enjoy gameplay wise, and the question usually means something else: what is wanted for group content. In that case, the answer should be about what is currently most useful in raiding and why, and that the person should consider those facts while picking a job they still enjoy.

    I've always assumed 'what should I play' is a conversation starter for forums. The only real answer in FF14 is play the MSQ because you really don't have a choice. The class and roll is something you find once you have found your FC and most of the established ones don't have a shortage of any role. 'Play what you enjoy' is applicable.

    OP doesn't understand the difference between "what" and "how".

    there's an awful lot of group-think in this game attemping to shoe-horn every single player into some kind of perfect paradigm. Too many people forget it's just a game, it's supposed to be fun - and a lot of the participants are going to treat it as such.

    I don't know, ever since I've been roleplaying I've been getting more attached to the storylines my character is in over SE's. Ffxiv starts out as this shiny new thing to enjoy for a bit, but the longer you stay, the more you are going to notice the cracks, the things you might have a problem with, whether it be the people, the game, the story...

    For me this started fairly early into 2.0. I never liked the Warrior of Light moniker, and slowly had a problem with our place in the story the loftier it got, the limitations of travel in 2.0 areas, and a lot of endgame stuff became a chore to do. Even to this day there are patches where I try to avoid doing expert roulette because it is just that tedious.

    It is generic for sure, but I would hardly call it problematic.
    Most people not new to MMOs come in already with an idea of what they want to level or at least try, so I would say these questions are most common from people not used to MMOs - in which case, if they don't come forward with some type of opinion or preference (i.e "I am interested in ranged" or "no tank classes") that you can use to guide them, there's really not much else you can say to them besides "level something that seems fun and if you do not like it, change later on!".

    Telling people what to do and trying to guide and help them with a decision are two entirely separate things OP - if someone comes up to you demanding you tell them what to play what are you supposed to do? Throw a dice?

    Play a Red Mage.

    They do good dps and have solid group utility all while having a rotation that's like 5 buttons.

    I mean... smn is pretty punishing for screw ups (less since 4.05) but still does great damage when you're not dying all the time.

    blm is way better and more mobile than you're claiming, you get 4 instant casts per minute of whatever you want, one instant f3 or t3/4, any of your (reasonably frequent) random procs, BtL and AM. BLM is not as turrety as it used to be, BLM does great damage. see this thread and its videos: https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comme...4e&sh=9e081c93

    DRG i'll give you is not in a great spot, anecdotally, we're still doing absolutely fine with one as they're an experienced DRG player

    Bard.... what planet are you on that Bard is bad? like, are you really trying to claim that MCH is doing a better job right now? in any way? BRD is so much better than MCH right now it's not even funny.
