Well you cant really say that when SE has designed jobs at 80 to be nothing like they are at 50 so they are clearly incentivizing a pretty advanced combat design, issue is jobs feel so slow early on that it has even put off people when they could enjoy the endgame job.

Thankfully FF14 is mostly safe from metaslaves though i wouldnt be surprised with the influx of wow players some sweaty simmers will try to advertise how a specific 8man comb is producing 1.3% more dps and thus the metaslaves will start running around pretending the dps jobs outside that comb are "unviable"
