Oh wait, I can't. They don't function the same.

Of course they all do dps. That's like complaining all cars have wheels.


Adding a support role won't change these things. People like to see big numbers. That's why dps is the most played role. Support roles would have to be either completely broken or incredibly lame so they don't break the game. It's not going to happen.
Having a support role won't break the game but expand on jobs that already exists in the game and other jobs to come into FFXIV in the future. This game is all Balance all jobs but the problem here is that you end up with all the joba feeling the same and while there are range jobs and melee jobs like as you said, do they really do anything else? Why can't we have a melee healer? Why can't we have Red mage have acess to vecure II or ver-regen? They are red mages and should have access to some of white mages more healing kit. Why can't Bard have it's support skills songs back? Bard is known to be a support job rather than DPS , that is Ranger.
