That's absurd.

People don't play this game to accomplish something quickly, they play it to enjoy themselves. Give someone a choice of bringing THM or BLM to Ifrit and they will pick BLM every time, not because it's ideal, but because it's new, interesting and more fun. You have no idea how many people each day ask to fight Ifrit as MNK or DRG.

There are obviously exceptions to this, however, but for timed content and events that are not a 'grind' in themselves; people enjoy the challenge and excitement of playing them as a less than ideal job simply because it's more fun to do them on a class they enjoy playing more. It's opression from party leaders and linkshell leaders that usually stops people from playing as the less than ideal classes, within reason. It can also be said that losing a fight playing as a class you enjoy is sometimes less fun than playing as one you do not.
