Honest question: If every player/class/job is equal,who is unique? (Gameplay topic)

[Pantz]

And that's a bad thing? And it also boils down to situations and preference as well. So what if someone prefers the WAR to the PLD for one type of fight? There are plenty of other battles that they can bring they're PLD into that they'll be of use for. In a game where grinding to level 50 is as easy as breathing, I hardly find it that bad to give classes a more unique skill set that makes them more useful in one fight to another class. If the player can't take about 1 hour out of each day to grind about 5-10 levels for the job they wanna run the place in, then that's their fault, not the player's or the game's design.

Yes.That is a bad thing. Not everyone wants to play all classes. There is no reason to punish them by creating situations where the class they love to play is left out of an instance. Giving a player a choice and forcing them is two different things.

You don't punish players for not playing all classes. You reward them for playing all classes.

You don't punish new players for not having all classes maxed with great gear. You reward those that played long enough to max all classes and have great gear on all of them.

And also, not everyone has the time to play the game every single day. By the time they can grind out each class, they are already going to miss out on a lot of content.
