And if gutting jobs and force fitting them into lesser versions of themselves (and this is AFTER already reducing/removing skills) was meant to close the skill gap, that was a colossal failure. You don't have to be a good healer to heal well if your potencies are higher and cast/recast is shorter than the rest. Melees without cc are at a huge loss right now, and tanks are just weak melee with high HP and cc. And despite this, anything that originally made a skilled player good, still makes them better than most, just with 9 buttons to do it with now.

And let's PLEASE stop using the tired, flawed logic that "FF14 is a PvE-based game". It wasn't a housing or glamours game at first either and yet those are prevalent features of the game as well now. The 3.x system had skills - from the start - that were perfect and very effective in PvP, far more than what we have now. Call it fluke or foresight, but many of those "useless" skills in PvE reigned supreme in PvP. Can't just be a coincidence.
