Why on earth would you want to be running around as a thaumaturge and not a black mage? Especially considering BLM is the top DPS in the game? Not to mention the gear you get for completing an expansion's job questline. Doesn't make sense.

Once again, a company has to step in to take action because people are lazy and/or trolls which impacts everyone else. If you want to queue as a base class in a premade with your friends and guildies that's fine. But not in DF content.
Trust me they did, it used to be a lot worse. Back in 2.0 and 3.0 the game had a different cross class skill system. Basically you can cross any skill as long as you don't have a job stone. So people do things like cross skill 'taunt' on archers, queue into 24 men and circle aggro from the tank to cleave the party. It wasn't just about performance.
