How would people feel if they took positional requirements away?

I'd be ecstatic and my gameplay experience for all the melee dps would be drastically improved.

You misspelled "dumber" with "improved".

Nothing will be improved, right now we are fighting to keep our gameplay mechanics in check before Square enix decides to "FFXV" them.
Look realistically on the latest changes, MOST OF THEM proved it that SE design team is aiming to make their jobs "stupid friendly", they are clueless of what community really wants and just push accessibility for no apparent reason.

This will drive away a ton of people who are exclusively playing FFXIV for the job design and ability to play everything on 1 char.
Yoshida cant help us, because he is being dragged into other game, we are left with auto-destructive devs who think appealing to complete casuals without will to learn is the way to make business in mmo market, this is completely and utterly wrong. Despite a ton of complains about healers, devs do not gave a single duck about reverting any of the 5.0 changes.
Today positionals, tommorow half of the skillset, another day all oGCD gone (like in WoW), diversity and gameplay completely broken into pressing few buttons with 2.5 sec cooldown.
