[Feedback] Character Development and Builds

[Reynhart]

Additionally, these new options would swiftly become meaningless, as ones which are clearly optimal end up soon becoming the only accepted setups in end-game compositions anyway.

If you play in Duty Finder, people will take what you are
If you play with your friends, they'll take you like you are...or you'd better change friends.
If you seek in Party Finder and people scold you for not being a perfect min-maxer instead of wanting to enjoy your character, run away from them like plague.

This concern is pure nonsense and it's sad to see it every time some unique feature are asked.

Ffxi had merits/job points and subjob system which allowed huge flexibility and unique gameplay tactics....unfortunately, this led to huge problems with job balance

Even without merit or subjobs, jobs aren't even close to be balanced in FFXI
