Dps job design issues due to lack of utility.

[DPZ2]

I didn't even realize there was a time you could swap jobs mid duty.
This sounds like a nightmare. Like, having the community "require" certain jobs for certain bosses can be bad enough, but for certain stretches of a duty?
Was the duty really that much more difficult without them? Or what?

I played through ARR when it was still ARR, and this ability to swap jobs mid-duty does not appear to have been a thing in 2014. I don't believe it was ever a thing. It might have been something in 1.0 I suppose.

Same thing with the "speedrun bonus chests" for dungeon instances. Not a clue where that came from, unless it was also a 1.0 thing.
