Why not allow class changing during duty finder dungeons?

[Icarian]

I'm all for SE letting you change jobs if the party is not full (someone leaves/DCs or whatever), but letting you change it whenever you want to will lead exactly to what's below

I guess it's because it might lead to situations similar to 1.0 where groups changed to optimal setups for every boss inside one dungeon.

They would have to re-tune dungeons because of that, like Wilan says, that's exactly what happened in 1.0.

to stop class stacking.

as example 1.23 Aurun Vale
from entrace until endboss: 1 Tank, 1 WHM, 1 BRD , 5 BLM
at the endboss: 1 Tank, 1 WHM, 1 BRD, 1 BLM, 4 MNK
the other jobs? where not desired
You have a MNk but no BLM or a BLM but no MNK? No invite for you.

Who did dungeon runs during old XIV know why they removed class change in instances

Actually I found switching jobs within dungeons fun. To an extent we can do it in turn 1 anyway, but it's so easy who'd bother?

1 this make things way to easy a lil waiting never killed anyone 2 the loot ooo i need that f greed ill just use my alt and take it 3 CT be a hoot with this i can see ppl fighting left and right and last if you make someone mad a tank dps or healer maybe they will switch there class just to be rude end result you will have to kick vote and still wait

I will be that cat:

It worked in WoW. No tank showing up? Warrior changed from Battlestance to Tank stance and Dutyfinder was restarted. shortened waiting time A LOT.

I would also like to have an option for certain classes to choose if they want to tank or DD. A Warrior can dish out damage mighty fine when defiance is off. With CERTAIN encounters a Monk could tank. Some encounters don't need 2 tanks and shouldn't be enforced in Dutyfinder. Some content doesn't need tanks at all if DDs and healers are good.

[Metabug]

Implementable just like vote kick. But here person is not starting vote for an expulsion of another, but for class change of self.
Could not be initiated during fight/roll/etc.
So if someone wants to change class in the dungeon and party wants it too? Why not. Let him start the vote, pass it.
Someone wants to change class during roll phase? Not happening. During the fight? Not happening.

sounds annoying.

[Shioban]

sounds annoying.

It worked great in 1.23.

You'd get halfway through Dzmael Darkhold and think "I'd prefer to play as Monk for this boss fight"

Anything, I repeat ANYTHING in an MMO shoudl always be approached from one point of view before you implement it.

That is ask yourself a simple question: "How would someone abuse this?"

That answers everything you wish to know.

Yeah, we totally abused being able to repair ourselves and other and switching classes if we felt like it. You were never "forced" to unless you were bad at dodging and got stuck on BLM.
