So after waiting for about 2 weeks to see the consequence of homogenization

so to all of you,who care only on rDPS and numbers and give shit to the "lower" jobs and want every other job to be the same i have one thing to say.IF YOU CARE SO MUCH ABOUT DPS NUMBERS THEN JUST SWITCH TO THE CURRENT TOP JOB AND STFU. all FF14 content is available to all jobs and we will play them with whatever job we want ,just cause its hard content doesn't mean you must have the best jobs to clear it ,you just need good party members.

Surely you understand though, that a lot of this complaining comes from people who would like to play, say, Red Mage, but do not feel its fair that a Red Mage needs to play to the level of skill of the 90th percentile merely to do the same damage as a 40th percentile, mediocre Black Mage player, all while still being told their class is too easy to deserve being buffed. It would probably be less bad if the first raid of this expansion didn't have harsher DPS checks than the first raid of the previous expansion did, but that's just how it is.

On Eden Prime versus Alte Roite: to be fair, it wouldn't take much to have a harder DPS check than O1S. That fight was laughably easy. It was refreshing to see the first two fights be harder than SB's first two boss fights of any tier, though I think they front-loaded this tier a lot. The third fight especially doesn't feel as hard to me compared to Halicarnassus, Guardian, or Omega (not that Guardian was that hard either... his fight just felt really long to me for some reason).

I do agree with the rest of your post though, about how some jobs at higher percentiles are still barely better than the Top 3 at a far lower percentile.
