fun is important, this is a game after all and what we pay for is entertainment, which seems to be in short supply lately
That's what happens when the developer over-emphasises balance over all else. It's one thing for players to optimise the fun out of the game, it's another thing for the developers themselves to balance the fun out of the game.

All the non-standard stuff we had, was it good for balance? Debatably no. But was it fun? Yes, it was. It was fun to find new and interesting ways to play jobs, having all alternate ways to play a job removed in the name of chasing the perfect balance just sours the whole experience of the game.
