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

[Aussir]

mommy, everyone does the same!

Excuse me while I go throw a few Holy and Heals while playing my Dragoon...

Give me a call when you learn that different players have different play-styles and not everyone likes to play the same class.

I like warriors, I hate paladins.
I like dragoons, I hate monks.
I like black mages, I hate white mages.
I'm ok-ish with Bards.
I find Schoolars/Summoners boring.

Playing a dragoon has NOTHING to do with playing a monk, they're different in everything and the only common denominator is: they do DPS.

Games need to cater for different people and their play-styles.

This, on top of each class having his own pros and cons (some are great at distance PHYSICAL DAMAGE, others are great at MAGIC DAMAGE; some are great at close range damage, others are good at DAMAGE OVER TIME, etc, etc, etc) and complement each other.

DPS classes all do damage? Yes... it's their job.
Infantry does DPS
Snipers do DPS
Artillery do DPS

Heal types all heal in one way or another? Yes, it's their job.
Nurses heal
Doctors heal
Surgeons heal

Do we need them all? Yes, because they all have their pros and cons. Yes because even with similarities, they still have differences that make them unique.

It's the same thing in the game; while similar, we're all different.

Now, excuse me while I go /facepalm.
