Isn't this class trinity a bit dated now?

And I'm positive that enabling one of the DPS positions in a party to be filled by EITHER a support OR DPS role, as opposed to letting support have its own permanent position would eliminate the long queue times that people are so afraid of.

Incoming tanks that either quit out right for not having 2 dps or vote kicking support in hopes of getting dps.

What I suggested is meant to be taken as a whole system and not single elements. Thus:

I also wrote that support could be give decent DPS—like BRD or MCH who are essentially support and who no one currently kicks because they don't pull DRG or NIN numbers. I said that perhaps they have naturally decent DPS or DPS available under a stance, like how BRD has Wanderer's Minuet. In such a case that they're at least pulling equal amount of DPS to our current "support roles", there's no reason you should assume anyone should kick them: I have yet to see anyone kick BRD for the reason that it's BRD.

sense...? we don't need a support role when the support class can deal enough damage to replace a DD.
