Most efficient = most used = accepted = everyone does it. Wanting to play your favorite class should never be an uphill battle between you and other players. I'm surprised you don't recognize that MMO players are generally a hive and going against the hive makes things...well, not fun. Instead of individual players going against the hive, the developers just need to take steps to force the hive to change its ways. It can be done.
I was also thinking about this on my way home the other day. It's almost like they look at the boss, think "what would be cool and fitting attacks/mechanics for this boss", implement the attacks and leave players to sort themselves out.
SE want to make chalanging content, and if you do Garuda, Ifrit, Moogle, CC, AV on balanced jobs then they are challaging, the community just wants to find out how to switch on Easy Mode on all content and once its found that stratagy is there to stay unless SE nerfs that stratagy, then all the Easy Mode worshipers cry when they can't do the content.

I just can't wait to see how many people BLM burned Garuda down, by everyone with Garuda weapons coming out of the instance dead over and over again.
