Also we already have this in being able to play any job at any time. If they're so similar as people keep saying then why do you insist on differentiating the class you already play? The only class/jobs that don't have much choice in variation are the bards and machinists. Everyone else gets variations on basic play points simply by switching a weapon. It encourages people to try new roles. Specs seem more like an excuse to just continue playing one class and one class only. Which yeah, people will do anyway, but you made that choice.
Bullcrap.

WoW style raids - where the whole group is punished for the failings of a few leading to exclusionary and toxic behavior - aren't the only type of group content possible.
