It turns into things that we already see in XIV, people complaining that dungeon runs take too long for example. There is also the fact that if you don't choose the best build or combination and later on decide you want to to endgame, you cannot undo it easily. Most games that have customization pretty well force you to start all over if you want to change it, or you can spend real money on a chance to redesign your skill trees or whatever they are using for customization in that game.
Except...

I literally just mentioned that more people are playing the jobs that ARE NOT the top 4 DPS. Going by the actual numbers of parses (I.e. People who actually care about things such as DPS potential)

Also saying "Oh, other games make you have to start over" doesn't really mean jack when in FFXIV you can have all jobs on one character, which most people seem to also be asking for in said potential new FF MMO (Myself included). Some also asking for the job customisation in addition to this "All jobs on one character"

Ergo, the switching of job combinations would likely be as simple as switching jobs currently.
