People cry for more challenging content, this offers that, more challenge.

do you think they go dual tank in t6-7 and solo tank in t8-9 because it's more challenging this way? I bet they do it that way because it's easier/more eficient.

You have cases where at one boss, you need to have a WAR to tank, and at another, you need that PLD, at the same time at some phases you need that BLM while in another you must have your MNK.

Alpha prooved that you didn't need X job to do, but just that people stick on certain jobs for certain phase and that a good player on an "unadapted job" could do it right

You didn't needed a war for X boss and a pld for Y you wanted them because it was easier that way

In other words, your party better be ready to deal with the different strengths of the bosses, so you must be able to utilize the difference strengths of your jobs. It isn't just about knowing when to dodge this, when to move to the left, and when to avoid being pushed off of that edge.

no you don't use the different strenght of your jobs, you adapt your set up so you can avoid monster strenght

I don't say 1.23 were not more challenging than 2.x but that if you couldn't change job they would have been ever more challenging.

in other word being able to switch job mid dungeon just lower the overall challenge of this dungeon
