It's what I mean when I say "let us be different".

Why do we have to play a character in a pre-assigned role without having the possibility to change that?`Why does one WHM have to be the same as the one next to it? Give us freedom to build a character the way we want to play it. You can still give a general direction but instead but we'd havethe possibility to pick skills and also stats to truly build a character.

That being said, I am sure it won't happen. The reason is simple: it would require too much thought from the players. Currently FFXIV is aimed at the "pick it up and play it without knowing anything" system. That's great for drawing people in but also ensures they will drop the game as soon as they see everything they feel is worth seeing. On FFXIV, the "different builds" is covered by being able to switch classes.

However, that is and will never be the same. If I want to use my whm staff to whack people by investing into melee dmg, I should be able to do so. That is how you achieve versatility in a game.
