This game needs depth, Please implement a second weapon (playstyle) for each job

Problem is, is that eventually every "choice" you get will be Min/Maxed and only 1 build will be viable. And then you'll get kicked if you don't conform to the build. SE devs will see which builds are currently META and they will use those builds and party make-ups to test out new raids and content. If the content is being balanced around a certain META, then you can bet your bottom dollar that that META is going to stay META. Then, in the next patch, SE will say "Okay we're redoing the skill trees!" and the same thing will repeat.

see: League of Legends, World of Warcraft.

You can say "well SE can balance around a bunch of different builds and party make-ups" well, that just leads to sub-par content overall and trying to spread yourself too thin. The content would also probably be ridiculously easy once figured out and the builds and party make-ups were min/maxed.

Prolly why I usually get booted or harassed in say wow, I never conform. I'v ran dungeons with a hunter no pet out just pure Marksman ship dmg. Iv done dungeons with a pet but back in the day duel wield only using swords never touching a range weapon. lol all the times people would freak out like it was the end of the world, funny stuff. Im sorry but if I like to play with one skill over another for w/e reason even if that other skill is more "viable" Im going the way I fancy. As long as your not hindering the progression of the group, and I mean 5 wipes on boss #1 then there is no reason to have cookie cutter classes. People need to just think for themselves and play whats fun not what they're told to play b/c its the "better way". this isn't real life, no ones life is on the line your not going to get your whole platoon killed in the middle of the enemies camp. I'd like to walk in to a group drop a fireball as a tank on a mob just to agro everything then pick up a hate build rotation, or a healer who can use blizzard with a bonus effect of insta freezing EVERYTHING even bosses for 4 secs to save the group from a huge insta wipe if its timed just right.

As a veteran Ranger from FFXI, no one said anything if I choose to use X-bow or bow/gun. And those had a different play style.
