new items are counter productive?

But what is the point of adding gear we are never going to use? And even materia we aren't going to use that takes up rng slots from materia we want?

Just because YOU will never use this new equipment does not mean no one will. I personally prefer Pug over Monk. And what if I was on a team that decided that we need an emergency healer more than some extra DPS or something along those lines? Switching to a Pug would be a very strategic and beneficial move. Not to mention that the Pug, once again with its broader series of abilities, is much better for soloing than Monk in many situations. And for those times I would LOVE to have some gear specifically for my Pug class.

I think people need to realize that Jobs are sidegrades, not upgrades. Meant to be better in certain situations not all situations.

This game should not cater to people who wanna heal on monk, enough said. I have deemed that silly talk and there will be no more of it.

Well, I found it quite reasonable. I also embrace the fact that XIV at least tries to move away from this stupid holy trinity that's plagued other MMOs.
