By asking for specializations, you are asking for the exact same thing. I really don't see the point you are making. You say DRK is just PLD with some slight differences. But that's exactly what a skill tree would be. So.....wat? Not to mention that DRK's gameplay is different from PLD's. So much so that I enjoy playing DRK and do not enjoy playing PLD. But if they were exactly the same playstyle, why would there even be a difference? It should feel exactly the same right? Or maybe, just maybe, you are trying to generalize to make a point. That's like saying DRG, MNK, and NIN are all the same because they are melee DPS and they have a buff to maintain. DRK's style is different and is a new job. Try seeing it for what it actually is. WAR is very different, yes, but not so powerful that it's better to run 2 WARs. Especially considering that DRK's DPS is nothing to laugh at (obvious not WAR level, but it is up there).

They are trying to hire people. It's really a combination of people not applying for the positions they have open and SE not giving the FFXIV team what they need. I agree with you, they need more people, but that's out of their hands.

And honestly, leveling is nothing. I'm a casual player and I have 3 jobs at 60 and a 4th at 59. It's not a bother if you take your time, and if you want to rush, expect it to burn you out. What it sounds like is that you want more options, but don't want to level another job to have tho options. Aren't you the same person that didn't want to rank up in PvP for the new gear?
I have 3 level 60s but they are all different characters (which means I had to go through the boring tedious story 3 times.). I do not like having a character which doesn't fit the job look like it. So I have multiple characters.

I just dislike the entire Job switching system, it just seems a bit silly that a Lalafell can use a giant axe as good as the other classes and immersion breaking honestly.
