Of course there is a solution, impose a penalty if you have too many of the same class.

Take their frikkin "strength in numbers" away.

Or you could just not complain and let other people do content however they want.

Balance is a developer problem, they should be making sure that fights can't be trivialized by stacking a certain class. If it can then that is a viable strategy (hopefully not the only one). Putting in an arbitrary penalty if you aren't running the rainbow coalition of jobs is a pretty lazy fix. As would be giving every class a single necessary group buff, no one said it was easy making a good MMO.

Make every class useful, what players do is their business if you give them the proper tools to work with they will come up with various strategies to accomplish results beyond even the developer's expectations. In this aspect FFXIV has so far not done so great yet. But that is why we are getting jobs and other combat changes.

Also alliance content please.

Pretty much. You should never force balance in a party, you just have to balance it well enough that it "influences" people to have diverse parties.

They should just add job bonus for the members in the pt. DRG gives everyone crt hit up MNK gives everyone a slightly lower delay on AA or attack boost, PLD gives DEF boost, BLM/WHM gives magic def up, BRD gives acc, WAR gives attack up also.

Who's complaining here, or did you mean you complaining about my post ?

I was simply making a suggestion as others seem to have an issue with it.

Why you always riding that high horse anyways ?
