2)Enjoyment. people want to play the classes they want to play. I understand your sentiment, and to an extent, agree that people should have another geared job for the just in case. However, what if your dragoon hates monk or vice versa? What if you force them to play a class they don't like until new content comes out? People quit, either the static or the game. Making people do something they don't want to do on a regular basis in order to progress is lazy on the part of the static leader, and it's lazy on the part of developers. You seem to have a static that tend to enjoy the other classes they have. You're lucky and the exception, not the rule.
