Why does it have to be recent to count? You think people will be complaining about WM in 2 years time? Considering those skills haven't been changed in a very long time, no one is going to ressurect a zombie thread to discuss it. The fact is, it HAS been brought up and people DID complain about it. Apocatastasis was updated as a result of these complaints. It now reduces the damage taken by magic rather than a flat elemental boost.

Obviously, creative license is used here. If you wanted everything to be historically accurate, your Black Mage would be equipped with herbs and twigs and White Mage would be a triage nurse. How fun would that be?

So instead of just arguing for the sake of arguing, bringing up points which have no relevance to the topic at hand, give some good reasons why Bard needs to be rooted considering their damage is still nowhere close to a Black Mage's output and are now suffering the same casting restrictions.
