I must say, I've been disappointed big time by the changes because and I'm on the edge of simply quitting the game. There's so many points that I think are too overwhelming, I mean by that : The over-simplification of the gameplay, the terrible choices in terms of balance, the lack of transparency.

Most of you guys think that META has no implication on the majority of the players while it has in facts big time impact on the "perceived value". You have to accept that, it is a mechanism that is present at any layer/level of the endgame, both in pugs and in formed groups.

Casters as many others classes are currently fighting for the "4th slot", while some of them are literally locked-out from it because of the perceived value of the jobs. I mean by lock-out, not even being able to enter in a lot of PF's.

As it is for 4.2. The balances have adjust some 4th slots jobs with each other while not even trying to balance them with the "holy trinity" of NIN,BRD and DRG.
