People already do have team setups for Thordan though, in that they have static raid groups where each member has a favored job. If my team had three ranged DPS players, i'd feel bummed telling one of the casters they have to switch to melee DPS all of the sudden for Thordan, especially if said players don't enjoy or haven't leveled a melee DPS.

This would be less of an issue if the changes had been announced in advance, but we learned about them only a few days before the patch came out, which isn't enough time for someone to get a new job to 60, gear it and learn to play it in a worst case scenario.

Fortunately it's all a null issue for now being as we'll probably get hotfixed within a day or two. We'll have to see what the 3.2 changes will look like specifically before we can accomplish any more rabble rousing.
