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.
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.
