"One of Each Job" Dungeons

[Rentahamster]

What about a dungeon(s) that had a restriction that the entering party consisted of exactly one of each job

No, no, no, bad, bad, bad.

Forcing people to play a certain way so blatantly like that is terrible game design. The way to promote job diversity is by, you know, actually promoting job diversity and making each job good, fun to play, unique, and special in their own way so that each job has something that appeals to different people according to their own personal playstyle, personality, and aesthetic.

Have it so that cooperation from different jobs and a diverse skill set actually increases your DPS, as opposed to spamming the same move from the same job over and over again.

The only thing I could approve of would be to have an achievement for a diverse class party or something like that, but that's all.

I like this idea. Most people have multiple 50's. It prevents an instance from having that ideal setup that will alienate a certain job(s). People should be willing to be flexible in terms of playing whatever job it takes even if it isn't their "preferred" job. You've got to be a team player!

Parties should be encouraged to make a diverse team because it increases their DPS and survivability, not because the game forces them to.

And, not as many people have multiple 50s as you think.

You know what else prevents an instance from having an "ideal" setup while also not forcing people to level jobs they don't like or spend hours making a group of all different jobs?

Making sure that all classes roughly do the same amount of damage, take the same amount of damage, heal the same amount of damage, and that there are redundant buffs and debuffs. That way when people are forming parties, they're not thinking "man I really need a White Mage/Bard/Ranger right now", but they're thinking "man I really need a healer/support/ranged DPS right now".
