People Enjoy hard Games

[Nebelheim]

People enjoy easy games.

That's why Summoner, Warrior, and Dancer are some of the top most played jobs.

Summoner saw a massive boost in playability after it was reworked and made easy.

The majority has spoken.

Not everyone plays a job because it's easy to play. I play dancer because i enjoyed it in ff11 and like the aesthetics of its abilities and gear on ff14 and find it fun.

Same. Summoner was always my primary DPS since ARR, through all it's many iterations. Rydia and summoning in general is a class I always enjoy.

Warrior I picked up for narrative reasons given what happens in ShB and a main story character.

WhM I really just like the Holy Druid theme and is closest to Clerics in other games.

So I play several easy classes due to theme, and coincidentally they are all presently among the easier classes. I also play Monk which is harder (to me) and BLM which isn't hard but has a reputation for being so for thematic reasons.

But I think Tanis is still right about the increase in popularity, even if it's not the only reason peope play the classes.
