Ugh. Why is it so hard for people to get it?

First of all for some reason you all seem to think Bard was "easy" or something. Well why didn't you all play Bard then? /shrugs. I didn't pick Bard because of "easy" or because of damage, I played it because I liked how it worked.

Imagine this then:

Let's give Monk more damage, but instead of them making use their fists, let's make them a ranged job throwing energy punches only!
Let's give Ninja more damage, but make their weapons a great sword instead!
Let's improve White Mage healing, but instead of using white magic, they will now heal by throwing bandages at their party members!
Let's make Paladins better tanks, but instead of using shields, they will now guard themselves with a bar of soap!

There, I just made your jobs better on paper. It doesn't matter if I changed the original way it was played or general aesthetics, RIGHT?!
