Goodbye, and good luck.

That’s why I plan to become a wildcard main, I don’t think PLD alone has enough to justify an entire expansion as my main either which is why I won’t only be a PLD main either

Support design in this game in general is just stupid.
I'm just going to play melee in Dawntrail. I started out as a Scholar main, but got bored of spamming broil.
Endwalker came out, and it would *tooootally* be different with the introduction of Sage! Or so people said.
Sage just ended up being scholar with more personal damage and instant casts at the cost of some utility. The devs didn't listen so i moved over to tank.
I found out the hard way, that the grass isn't greener here and that tanks have their own design issues in the form of an overfed, spoiled group of mains that always get their way.
A new tank will just be a worse Warrior clone with some extra steps.
And if it does something cool or unique, a certain group of players will ensure every tank can do it, making it no longer cool or unique. I genuinely do not see the need for new supports anymore.

I actually just want a complete overhaul of the supports at this point, and ideally they move Warrior to melee dps to avoid future homogenisation.

Support design in this game in general is just stupid[...]

This is what I feel ultimately. Healer/Support jobs is my bread and butter choice in every single game I played & I can never stray too far from that. I may play DPS in off times but nothing screams like home like support jobs to me.

When I play support job in other games, the sentiment was "I know people gonna need/desire me, and I will do my best to fill that gaping hole in their party!" and accompanied by other's perspective to my job of "I can finish this mission just fine on my own. But if I recruit [X support] to my cause, my life will be much easier and I can even farm this more efficiently!"

Now shove me mind to FFXIV, what I get instead is "Lol I'm just here to make sure DF queue pops..." whereas other's take for support jobs be like "But I don't want to get c*cked or depend on support jobs, please make me immortal solo god!"

Support job just feels like a garbage over here. I'm only staying in the game for certain social circle that should not be named that I hope they won't be stupid enough to bork anytime in near future.
