if you take a step back for 2 seconds and look at things. you will see that the dev's have been restricted by what was already in place, there is only 2 DoM classes to work with, in final fantasy blackmage and whitemage are the original and trademark mages, so had to come first. yoshi has said more than once we need more mages. to give the magic that has been taken away now too con or thm would cancel the need for a new debuff mage. everything that is being done now is building up for 2.0. which if you read between the lines this is when you will see you debuff mage.

its all about the big picture
