    "Melee/Ranged/Caster DPS" are a type of DPS. Not a role. Don't believe?! Here. You can clearly see that they fall under a general role of DPS.
    It's obvious that tanks and healers don't have such type distinction...seeing as they have only ONE type currently. I can assure you that as soon as they'll get at least two more of a different type (possibly even a single different class) they'll get divided just like this.

    That's EXACTLY why yours is a double standard. You compare a sub-type of a role with a role and use that as argument that the ROLE to which that sub-type belongs to needs more new jobs than the ROLE that have a lot less jobs overall. If you don't understand that distinction...then it's a lost cause. You're just a DPS fanatic.
    When will this different type occur? Gunbreaker is certainly adding no new "type" of tank. Unless that interview is true and they're splitting them into MT and OT, in which case, I suppose then we have MT and OT type jobs now. That's its own can of worms. Even that aside, let's say they add a DoM tank, and keep cross-role: why wouldn't they keep that tank in the same cross role so it can benefit from all the tank job's essentials like provoke, rampart, and shirk?

    It's still not a double standard though. I'm still working by the game's own, in-game role division outlined by the cross-role system. Not all DPS serve the same purpose and fulfill 'DPS' to different extents based on the level of party utility they bring. Unless you're going to tell me that if I want to play a Bard, I might as well play a Samurai since they're the same role anyway?

    And instead of properly arguing the point, you're mudslinging "You're just a DPS fanatic!" and claiming I have double standards. None of which is appreciated, and I'd hope you're better capable of arguing in good faith than that.
