Do NOT make the same mistake as FFXI.

Oh I've been playing actively in groups since the update. Not R50 yet and apparently the issue seems to be with the new R50 raid but hey, apparently a group did it without mass archers so I really don't see what the big deal is. People acting like THM and melee DDs are completely useless now.

It can be done, except thats the hard way. People have point out the easy route, wich does not involve, pug, mrd, lnc, or thm

Well that's in every single game involving classes ever. Melees can still do it, and just because Archers are amazing for it doesn't automatically disqualify every other job. There were tons of "easy route" builds in XI but that never disqualified anyone save for the 1-2 useless jobs (for very specific situations) of their respective generation (out of how many? 20). There's not a single class in this game that's flat out unplayable.

Game finally gets challenging and everyone starts crying over it.

Way to miss the point of balance.

I think it makes better sense to have all classes offer the same amount of challenge, instead of having one class or a few, be the easy-mode solution.

Way to miss the point of my post.

No game has perfect balance especially this early in a complete rework of the battle system. Even then, Archers were throwing a tantrum just a day or two ago saying their class was RUINED. Yeah, I think it's fair to say the common denizen of these boards doesn't know jack about balance. One boss having an AoE that archers can stay out of range of does not necessarily = OMG GAME BROKEN ARCHER SO OP
