1) This is a mmo. A TEAM based game. One person failures should affect the entire party.
2) If a class is underpowered it will be "sat." Let's look at bards. The general opinion is their dps is underwheming and they are kicked from groups. AST, are kicked from endgame goups because their heals are weaker and do not have reliable utility. In 2.4-2.5, SMNs weren't wanted in endgame groups because they
weren't as good as BLMs.
3) If something is OP, then it will certainly replace the class with the same role. That's why a lot people want DRGs for a melee spot. BL is a giant dps buff with a pretty low CD.
4) Then why have something if it cannot partake in all content. It is pointless developing time. If jobs are better than the "customizable" class, no one will use them.

From reading your previous posts, it sounds like you haven't played many mmos. What you want have existed in mmos before and they always end the same way.
