Just going to play devil's advocate here.

I will, when I see the opportunity and the chance to use positional moves like snap punch doing 180 POT from the flank properly, but considering some of the instances I love depend on the CR DPS already being positioned so he doesn't screw the entire or at least half the party with AOE drops, dive bombs, water bombs, weight of the land, tactics that NEED you not to do a positional hit.

I do love my class, as I main MNK, and honestly love the crap out of it, but when what I mostly do limits a bit of what I CAN do, it becomes a tiny bit of a bad habit.

It's the same in PVP as well, if you're fighting a good team in Cartineau Plateau, the other DPS will be rotating and running like mad men (Bards mostly) when a monk is up to try and beat you down, and if they're smarter, rotating to face us doing so to screw up our positional attacks. Just... half the time don't get the chance to take advantage of positional attacks.
