I say no one has a right to tell you how to play. I personally hated getting told how to play rdm. With the excuse of... you need to do stuff for end game. I was very good at rdm in the sence of I knew my timing an was quick with dispel. If i needed to rest I rested. If I needed to convert I converted. I played rdm best when I meleed. As thats how I had fun with it.
I mostly played mnk with mnk/thf cuz I like doing crit dmg since i was mithran. but ppl again told me off about it saying go "/war go /war. then go /nin go /nin. You don't play mnk properly if you not stealing hate from the tank" << this is the only thing I hated in ffxi. I just hope in ffxiv Ima be able to play my own style, and that as long as i'm a team player that should matter.

The thing about this is there will always be the current "ideal" playstyle or setup for every class. Personally I have fun with these ideal playstyles because I know I am performing as best as I possibly can, but we will see what happens when the class system is reformed.

sometimes being "the best" isn't what is best for the team/party. Like i find it against the party to purposely take hate from tank then get bad about dieing. I found the end all be all is flawed. The best should only be what the player feels is best for them. As not everyone can or will be the same. Nor should be forced to be the same. Like being forced to lvl nin, even though tanking is not something your good at. Players will not be good at everything, nor should be forced to.
But i digress

i loved the gimp pld thing XD i met alot of pld who wrere like that. like some plds I ran into just b4 i had to quit last mnth. They wait for ages to cast cure and they end up 1/2 dead. and use up to much mp.

I have to agree with you on this one. I've run into this SO many times. I play the game to have fun. I play my way. If people don't like me they can GTFO. XD The only thing I disliked about XI was the players telling me how to spend my time.

not everyone can or will be the same. Nor should be forced to be the same.
