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

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.

For starters: How is that punishing them?

It's THEIR CHOICE if they want to level the job or not. If they don't want to grind the job(which is cake to do) then they don't have to, no one is forcing them to. Also, your assuming EVERYONE will have a certain expectation for a certain run, only elitists hold these types of ideals and I pity ANYONE who runs with that lot.

Secondly, no one is expecting every player to have every class maxed out with all the best gear, even as the game is now, I've ran with people who barely have ilvl80 and often less and they do just fine as any other class with ilvl90+. Once again, only elitists have those types of expectations.

Thirdly, sure, not everyone has time to play every single day but its not like if you miss 2-3 days out of the week grinding your job that the ex runs are suddenly going to stop the next. Now if you miss weeks on end and are unable to play most days out of the month, then maybe the player should reconsider where they should put their money since its essentially being wasted.

and even in that scenario, if the player has that little time to do anything to begin with, they're going to miss out on newly released content anyways since they don't have the time to tome grind or dungeon grind for the better gear to survive in most end game content anyways.
