It can be done, it has been done, and I have a feeling SE could do it better!
It was and then they made the mistake of trying to let everyone do everything and not have to sacrifice anything, leading to mega classes that can fit into any party role they want, which led to the decomposition of game mechanics and transformed WOW into one big dick measure competition where everyone was only trying to get the highest DPS in every dungeon and raid. If you hadn't noticed, FFXIV has taken everything everyone hated about WOW and didn't do it.
