Question is, is the reason for the amount of MNKs versus DRGs due to the class being balanced or due to DRGs being a lot more popular? MNK/NIN was the comp for world first so it was the meta for progression and therefore it isn't unbalanced in any way other than people preffering to play DRG or increasing their epeen. In comparison to A1-4S were PLD was barely viable and the DPS increase of the DRG a lot more important than the mantra of MNK. Midas has a lot more balanced set up where MNK/PLD is as viable as DRK/DRG. There's really not any way of making the class more lucerative for players to play and there is no reason to do so either because as long as people aren't being denied to join a static simply due to them playing the class there's no need to balance it.
