They can't handle the 9 DPS they have either, yet I don't see the "no tank/healer pls!" saying they don't want new DPS before they are balanced.

I'm sorry, but that was an excuse. If they really focused on balance then they absolutely suck. For someone that can make the new jobs and play them for months in advance before release, they didn't notice basic balance issues that players found within days of them being released. They probably just decided to rework some classes and tested whether they worked, ignoring the balance tests whatsoever.

We're asking about NEW tanks and healers. It is Square Enix's fault for the current ones to lack any real identity in their gameplay. That's because instead of thinking of new ways, they copy half the skills then fill in the blanks. As a result they are much more similar to each other than DPS into which they put more thought and effort.


That being said, players want a new tank and healer because three of each is just not a lot. Especially when they are largely so similar in skills possesses. Even if only half of them will be "new", it's still a breath of fresh air for the tanks and healers. And there is ZERO reason not to do that, especially when they don't seem to mind filling in the DPS roster despite its severe balance issues.
