All center around the simple fact of using a composition with the highest gain for a fight, for FFXIV it's mostly the highest gain of rDPS, even if only a small percentile of the players could effeciently use the advantages of this specific composition.
Thank you! I knew it had a couple different meanings, but I could only recall Most Effective Tactical Advatage.

And I agree. A lot of people but a lot of stock behind "meta", but unless you know how to actually optimize as a team, it doesn't matter if you are running a meta comp. The truth is, is that a lot of people will run meta and think their numbers will magically get better; they don't realize all the stars (buffs) need to align to do so, as well as them be able to personally optimize their own jobs individually.
