Why refusing customization is a fallacy

[Gilthas]

A bst could go naked and solo the hell out of this mobs , same goes for NIN/DNC or DNC/NIN , PUP , RDM and dependding on what type of mobs BLM/SCH could solo it with easy.

some jobs are far better at soloing stuff than others? yes happens in every mmorpg , u dont balance around "soloing" because then the game will be a mess

And yet here in FFXIV all healers have access to a DPS stance and have several DPS abilities. And tanks have abilities to increase their DPS too.

Probably because someone at SE figured out that it's nice to be able to efficiently solo things in the open world.

They want to play it safe because players complain as soon as they have to "think".
Diablo 2 ? Let's imagine some buils and try lots of skills. Diablo 3 ? Let's have all the skills available because we don't want the "burden" of creating our own character.

FFXIV v1 ? Plz, remove the physical level, it's sooooo complicated to spend our stat points wisely if we wan't to create either a specialist or a jack-of-all-trades.
And yes, I realize the the physical level had flaws in v1, but instead of adjusting it, they decided to scrap it completely because people cried over and over. So, in v2, they gave stat point distribution back, yeah ! But it's useless, since almost every job use only one stat.

Lol, really not surprised to see that what you really want is for others to get screwed over for making the wrong choices.
