Would you improve if the content required it?

[Jim_Berry]

I simply mean if you faced a challenge, would you get better or leave it alone?

Most of my challenge comes from the community. Let me give you an example:

I never completed Gordias because I was a PLD and NIN. People wanted DRK and WAR, and we were flooded with NINs. Since 2.x I have been a VIT tank and never gave in the the STR thing that went on. That said, I improved on learning the content itself, but did NOT improve on optimizing my gear (I ignored STR stuff).

Another thing is WAR. I can't seem to grasp it from a DPS perspective; I'll play WAR as MT in Defiance. I don't think I'll improve in content with WAR regardless of the contents' changes.
