Recurring Theme On Specific Class Demands Per Content Because of Difficulty.

Blame both on this one.

SE needs to create less incentive for cookie cutter setups.

We as a community need to stay open and not fall under this cookie cutter setup.

In our LS, we invite anyone who can DPS and know what they are doing. Is it easier if they bring LNC? Yes, and we recommend it if you have it, but not forced upon you. We still best him under 10 minutes a lot of the times.

Hate to pull the WoW card, but everytime I play it and do raids, people don't look at my class and say "Sorry, only "this class" is allowed into the raid.". They invite you based off your gear level and if you are experienced. Blizzard figured this out, a lot of MMO's figured this out, why can't SE? Sure it isn't perfect on their end either, but cookie cutter setups on their end don't involve certain class setups. You get your tanks, healers, ranged DPS, and DPS, and you are good.

In the future in FFXIV, I want to be invited based on my skills and gear, not what I am, but who I am. Where it leads back to what I said above, SE needs to create less incentive for cookie cutter.

Still can't blame them, we are the ones who have to be in control of the situation, we have to be willing to stop falling into this everytime and invite a player if he is a good player.

I agree, but its hard to avoid cookie cutter setups, if SE keeps adding cookie cutter dungeons.

and thats the problem.
