FFXIV: Limited Job and why it doesn't work

That's pretty simple. They're trying to make it into a BLU man group thing. I think that's a mistake due to the lack of long term rewards that would encourage enough people to play at the same time, and the overall lack of resources available to have a reliable structured party around it. If there's anything that needs to be fixed, it's the fact that it's straying in that direction. It restricts the possibilities of more creative setups by trying to shoe-horn in a more typical play structure.

Trying to make it a normal job would defeat the purpose and demand major re-balancing
