Why give the ability to lockout classes for Raids?

When I have to pug, I intentionally give 1 opportunity for SAM/BLM. I do not want a BLM if there is already a SAM. I do not want a SAM if there is already a BLM or MNK. 1 selfish DPS per party is enough, and it's first come first serve

To actually answer the OP's questions, however, it should be quite obvious. If I already have a DRG in the party, why would I want a second one? You want to get stuck with completely random parties then that's what the DF is for, have at it. PF is for building your own party comp. And besides, it doesn't effect you in the slightest - the only people losing out are the ones looking for specific comps, these parties take the longest to fill. Whereas if you don't care what the comp is the PF will usually fill up fast. So you can sit around waiting for a specific comp or just YOLO to fill up quick.

Side comment - lol @ Eli85. If BLM is the highest DPS why are they one of the least desired jobs right now? DPS is everything right? RIGHT??
