What if picto was not broken ? Then you are saying that it would be understandable to ban viper and machinist because it would be too hard to beat P1 and 2.

Anyway, it's not because the fight is feasible with any team that we should not at least hope to see every job perform decently when there are absolutely obvious ways to fix those problems and it should have been done before the ultimate even came out.
You're blaming the developers for VPR being excluded from PFs. This job was more than fine in Savage. FRU is its first on patch Ultimate. Ultimates have different durations and uptime for every phase. A 4% difference in an Ultimate is not unhealthy for the game, as this could mean jobs are not homogenized.

I am not disagreeing that VPR and MCH need changes to perform better in Ultimates. I main MCH and the job has been underperforming for 3 expansions. But it was viable in EW, still is now. Excluding VPR/MCH in parties without PCT is not justified, the issue is just worse when you already have a PCT. What you should do is avoid joining these PFs, if people really are coping for the perfect composition in a fight without relevant DPS checks, rather than looking for good players.

Also you're telling me some people swapped to MCH in TOP because of P2? P4 was a major problem, and many groups struggled with P6 damage. P1 was much harder... For any effect, in PF, TOP would see more clean enrages, and it's not even close. So you tell the people who ban VPR to hit the striking dummy, rather than blame the developers. MCH and RPR were good picks in TOP, and not very good in DSR. These variations are healthy for the game.
