Encounters aren't everything

[IDontPetLalas]

The majority of the playerbase demonstrates daily that they cannot even handle a simple 123 rotation. The "read your tool tips" phrase is a meme for a reason. This game has fostered an acceptance for mediocracy and aggressively protects that under the guise of "harassment and bullying". (I can hear the people coming to call me elitist for even pointing this out)

I don't want the developers wasting time and money on something that only (being generous here) 30% of the player base might aspire to. It is my firm opinion that the majority of the player base don't have the capacity to play simple jobs correctly and so a more complex kit would be lost on them.

Encounters however could use more rng, have more dynamic leveling like some of the awesomeness we got in Bodja and shake up the usual wall to wall pulling we do. It could be something that players of all levels enjoy regardless of personal skill. Almost like an equalizer of sorts.

I wish we could have both, jobs with more complexity to master AND dynamic encounters, but I'll take the encounters for now.

This is my opinion though of course, I would love for the general playerbase to prove me wrong and all of a sudden be different in 7.0. (Please... pretty please...healers dps in dungeons).

It's because of posts like this -especially that last line- nice touch there- that's some jobs have basically been so -oversimplified.. Your healers probably fell asleep.

Sometimes people will fail. That's OK. I would rather have that, than having jobs that are designed with this view of the player base.

^This, so much.

Something that I'll never understood is why they have an absolute aversion to player to player frictions. By that I mean, something like taking out as much nuances as possible just to reduce the amount of X players complaining about Y players doing something very specific with their chosen job.

If that's such a bane to their 'perfect vision' they might as well sell/market the game as solo game rather than an MMO. Just rip that bandage off.
