No you're not, all you're teaching them is to do Ifrit on classes instead of jobs like it should be done. Go on jobs and teach them to do it right and that is relying on 1 to 2 healers. It will make them way way better players.

You must have been a bad player for using classes before jobs came out learning the fight on class or job will make you better.

you might be able to sign up solo but it is designed around doing it with multiple people which is why you need the extra healing/buffs to survive

That's whole point i was saying PGL IS GOOD FOR SOLO!!!!!! I even use it for fighting lvl 54 mobs cause they drop some of the items i sell!!!!

and my point is if you are doing solo content MNK is better if you are doing group content with a group MNK is better. You throw in pgl is better because I can do content made for a group with PGL because I can have more heals and buffs to make up for my lack of survivability (which you are supposed to have when facing group content solo). I wasn't arguing any of that. Of course you are going to do better vs them odds with more heals and buffs but like I said before no reason to go PGL for solo content.

I know ppl hate hearing XI but I would like to see a return of the merit system in the bonus point system we have now. It was such an awesome concept, in my opinion. What I would like to see is when there are multiple jobs per class, you can earn bonus points for the class that can be spent on one of the jobs.

For example say you get max 10 bonus points for GLA. You can spend them to crank up PLD abilities or hypothetically DRK abilities. So while You can play any class, at the end you will pick a job to specialize in per class. Of course have the option to reroll, but no on the fly or without penalty.
