now just hear me out

So, what I read is basically:
"Hi, I love monk. Monk is my main. I wan't everyone to experience the joy I have when playing monk. So why not add some monk into every other job ?"
And I admire the love you have for your job, and your desire to spread monk's love to a wider audience. But yeah it would remove some of the identity of monk wouldn't it ?

It's a nice sentiment, but I'm sorry, I won't return to monk-ey!

Just to beat the dead horse a little more, Fist Stances are already unpopular on Monk for being wasted design space and they have been for three straight expansions now. We don't need to inflict that on any other job.

And I admire the love you have for your job, and your desire to spread monk's love to a wider audience. But yeah it would remove some of the identity of monk wouldn't it ?

It wouldn't take any identity from Monk because the Fist Stances have never been a part of that identity.

That and they gave Monk's identity to Samurai in Stormblood and never came up an idea for what Monk was supposed to be after the fact, so it's not like Monk has much of an identity right now anyway.
