I don't understand your statement. Meta is of course affected by the dev team, but it is driven by the community. Strong options become weaker has people choose other options that counter them. When new strategies or tactics are discovered it will also change the meta.

The best possible comps aren't even being played right now because it requires more than 4 people to coordinate. Relying on some random who ques once a day just isn't possible.

3 parties of 6smn,1 ast, and1 brd can wipe an enemy alliance in a wide area, well outside their engage range, and be completely untelegraphe every 30 seconds by rotating which party is using lbs. This comp has the funny affect of making the current worst job (bard) crucial to keeping up the offense while making drk relatively useless in comparison.

24 scholars can bypass melee mitigation, bypass guard, and be a touch of death combo every 15 seconds while only being exposed for 1gcd. Once they max BH they can split into 2 groups and fight 2 fronts easily.

Waymarker commanding has yet to be split into 3 party commanding. Any team running 3 parties of meta roles would run circles around the large deathball style, but we don't do it.

Frontlines has a skill ceiling in the stratosphere and we barely manage to make it out of the mud as a community.
