Actually this is not true. While I would personally LOVE a magic frontline DD
there are people that enjoy the support side to red mage. They've posted
on countless threads, and in game about loving the support side. Red mage
has never really had a focus. It never was just a DD or just a healer, or just
a buffer/enfeebler.

Sadly the way this game works (trinity) SE will likely have to pick one way or
the other. I'd personally love an implementation similar to bard. Front line attacker
with magic buffs and attacks/effects. (bravera faithra enspell) Maybe let red mage
combo or build up some sort of points that can be spent in conjunction with MP to
cast spells by fighting up front.

Again, just because I know I'd enjoy an upfront close and personal rdm type, doesn't
mean I don't realise there are others that enjoy other aspects of the class in tradition.
