Picto makes the game less fun

[GoatOfWar]

This is in no way a bad thing. Let the players who want the easy jobs play the easy jobs, and let the players who want the more challenging jobs play the more challenging jobs. Everyone gets what they want.

And how would that be any different if the training wheel jobs performed slightly worse if optimised compared to the other jobs?
I genuinely do not understand why this is such a painful topic for so many people. Nobody wants to be penalised or handicapped.
Vpr and Picto make me actively not want to raid. Knowing it could be so much easier and i'd do strictly better. Am i speaking French?
People do NOT want to work harder for nothing. It's something you're going to have to accept. Either all jobs are braindead or the majority of people will flock to the braindead jobs which will result in further simplification to all jobs as they become unpopular. We have seen this happen countless times. VPR has a tank dps rotation without any of the tank responsibilities, and not a single job mechanic to track.
One will always be better than the other if you do not reasonably balance around job difficulty. Vpr sees more than double the amount of players than the next most played melee, and i'm seeing zero reason to play anything other than Vpr.

''You play whats fun is the reward'' is i think, to put it bluntly, the most retarded thing i've read all day. Because these jobs are competing for a slot.. A handicap is not a reward.
And since you're inadvertedly okay with the players playing more accessible jobs doing more damage than the others most of the time -by being easier and featuring less fail states. Why can't harder jobs do higher damage by a similar margin when mastered and those failstates are overcome?
