At the core each class has a roughly similar game play loop compared to others within the role minus a few synergies but they are not so game defining like how it was with the Drg and the piercing debuff. FFXIV class system really does not lend itself to having a strict meta like other games. So sure even with the data driven community it would probably be more about pushing for a certain damage threshold expectation for given job and ilvl. Instead of pushing for certain jobs or comps like in other games.

In short the content in class wow was easy but let us be real why bring a meme class even for easy content.

That is why this tightrope act the developers are doing is really the only and best choice they can make if they don't want this tool in the game. Ask not to do it, but can't stop you. They can only protect players by not having you talk about it ingame or weaponize it against them. What you do outside the game however is your choice.



It is the best middle ground and only one that can be done. The players have the tools to improve if they want, while trying to keep some of that out of queue base systems. MMO community are hyper competitive leads to grief for people who are not. Even if the content is design easy or whatever.
