Gatekeepers exist in this game too

I Know but... They are just little kids playing in a sandbox compared to GW2 level XD.

ive played gw2 at high level raider as a scrapper healer since heart of thorns came out and old scrapper was a mess but i found it fun as a healer, i ran into elitist who didnt take me during raids because there were better healers, same in wow depending on the patch i couldn't get into random parties for mythic+ but when i made friends who just liked to hang out and knew i enjoyed the class i played they let me play it even if it wasn't meta. Having interesting job design and inbalance leads to a more engaging game but of course meta parse monkeys who will only recruit perfect vetted players but this can be countered easily by making friends and hanging out, no one will take phys range over two casters rn for pure damage but youd take your dancer or machinist friend because you like them. This is a problem you can fix by being social and having fun however a boring job designed game which is far more balanced then most mmos can't be fixed by making friends.
No matter what you will be a glare mage if you play whm.

FFXIV need to evolve, there is not other choice but.... There is 2 mains problems.
1) A loud part of the community that always scream "don't touch this, don't touch that, don't remove this, don't remove that, don't modify this, don't modify that"... Even when it's about archaic gameplay mechanics that holding back the game and use threat against SE to keep it their way.
2) SE don't have the courage to say "Shut up we will still do it" at this loud minority.

Until one of thoses problems is fixed, FFXIV will stagnate

??? A lot of feedback can be found here exactly because SE took things away without any feedback asking for such changes.

People say “don’t remove x” because square has shown over and over that if they remove x they will replace it with nothing and you’ll just have a less engaging rotation to compensate

It’s even happened this expansion, DRG got a rework that basically removed the eye mechanic off mirage dive and just replaced it with pressing geirskogul, now mirage dive does nothing at all and the rotation has become easier

MNK got its 2-2-3 rotation removed and basically replaced with “you have 6 buttons press which one lights up” and replaced that lost cadence complexity with nothing

AST got card complexity removed and traded it with random heal bloat the class doesn’t need

I still hate that they did this. After losing timer management, the change in gameplay flow at least gave something to pay attention to, but then they changed it back into EW MNK without the timers because some people whined that they had to look at their hotbars.
