That quite literaly means <whatever it is we allegedly care about in this game> is optional. The fact that people can choose to care or not care makes it optional.

If we take a REALLY wide view, we could just say everything in the game is optional, but that isn't useful to have discussions.
Indeed. Nothing in my list is generally considered a baseline expectation for playing in a party or playing a particular job. For example, I specifically and intentionally did not not include bullet points for zero-DPS healers, or Blizzard-only BLMs, or DPS that refuse to hit their basic, listed-on-SE's-official-job-guide-website 1-2-[3-...] combos.

So, I ask: Is anything in my previously posted list required?

This is also true of the 4 Healers Model opposition. And the irony is, if people would give on that, they'd likely get most of what they want otherwise.
I asked for what I wanted, and your response was literally, "Are you proposing we add a new healer?"

Your "4 Healers Model" does not give me what I want, by your own admission.
