    Commendations.
    If I play dps I only give it out to other dps.
    If I play tank I only give it out to healers.
    If I play healer I only give it out to tank.

    Only if they should be getting a commendation.
    There are always exceptions to the rules!

    Groups would take 10 times longer to get together because support is an unpopular role that you effectively have to sucker people into playing (XI's RDM and COR come to mind). Some of you have really learned nothing from the past, it seems. 0.o

    * The sad thing is that FFXIV turned RDM into a turret, and people think that's what it's supposed to be. It's supposed to combine sword and magic into something more, not spend the bulk of gameplay spamming spells and jump into melee for only 3 GCDs before scurrying back to the back line like good little casters.
    * Design ideas:
    Red Mage - COMPLETE (https://tinyurl.com/y6tsbnjh), Chemist - Second Pass (https://tinyurl.com/ssuog88), Thief - First Pass (https://tinyurl.com/vdjpkoa), Rune Fencer - First Pass (https://tinyurl.com/y3fomdp2)

    RIFT is actually a fairly prime example of a Support Role poorly implemented. Waiting for the Dungeon Finder to find that Support guy was atrocious, and getting a team of 5 before that tool was made was even worse.

    I don't get why Bards aren't happy with how the Job functions. As a Monk, Scholar and Warrior, i LOVE having a skilled Bard in my party.

    Every Job has a Role, something it's good at. Monk has exceptional continuous single target DPS. Black Mages have exceptional periods of burst damage. Dragoons are a good mix between the Black Mages burst and the Monks continuous DPS. Summoners are great at dealing a lot of constant damage to multiple targets at once.
    The strength of the Bard is its ability to greatly improve the performance of everyone in your party, through resource regeneration or bonus damage with Requiem.

    If you want to just do massive damage ranged hits, roll a Black Mage, don't try to force a Job to change to suit your desires. Leave the poor Bards alone to do what they're good at -_-
