Ranged DPS role is about to be excluded from all content

[dinnertime]

I think the biggest joke I face this expansion is that I played BRD / RDM / AST. This whole thing is just painful to watch, how RDM didn't even get touched when SMN did and how we now have 4 very clear benchwarmers is pretty awful.

And as a BRD main, I can't even be bothered doing more savage raiding right now, I don't particularly enjoy thinking "I should probably just level a BLM instead" while I play. I haven't even been able to put myself through leveling RDM, because it just feels agonizingly slow knowing what I know.

Yes, SMN got touched, but it's a QoL change. SMN is still in a bad place damage-wise being 1.2k behind the DPS above it so make that 5 benchwarmers.
