Is there an unneeded hostility towards regular classes in this game?

You remind me of that one guy in my FC that goes Paladin for Coil and got a Mirror from Levi EX and used it on his Tidal Wave Battleaxe for his Marauder DPS. Don't get me wrong, the guy is nice and I appreciate him as a person but did he pissed off a lot of people (his raid members mainly)

I wouldn't mind seeing cross-class skills expanded a little and pure classes limited in parties to level 30 content. I like variety and that the option is there, but the job system seems to be confusing to some people.

If you're a SMN or SCH, you're still an Arcanist. If you're a PLD, you're still a Gladiator.

but I do feel that I should have been able to be the arcanist without any kind of opinions, however kind or rude, thrown at me simply because I play a different way.

you're more than free to do whatever you want. but when you're in a dungeon/raid, your decisions affect a group. for example, if you're playing the role of DPS but spending your time healing, not because the healers are bad, but because of your "ADHD", then you're slowing down and gimping the entire party. so if your decision to play the game different is affecting the entire party, that party has every right to call you out on it. If you want to be worried about everyone's health, then become a scholar. at least then your heals will actually have some power behind them. but you can't expect parties being slowed down by your decision "to play a different way" to not call you out on gimping the party.

if you want to do endgame content as an arcanist, get a party together and do it with friends that already know that's your plan. but you can't join the pf or df and expect your party to pick up the slack you bring to the table by gimping yourself.

there's no real argument here. SMN > ACN and SCH > ACN. you're sacrificing way too much by not equipping the soul crystal. if that's how you want to roll, do it with friends not with strangers.

Because people still think I'll reply to half of what's in here.
