Actually I disagree with this. If you have too much utility it just makes people get choosy even more. A few utility jobs and then some raw dps for utility jobs to support is honestly fine. If people are preferring utility jobs over raw dps jobs then that means the raw dps jobs are not performing well enough for the meta to consider them viable. Of course, using only utility jobs for maintained buff upkeep is also the main culprit here as to why the meta is ignoring raw dps jobs. For the meta to truly consider raw dps jobs, that raw dps would have to match what the party's dps averages out at with less buff upkeep as opposed to having more upkeep.

In short, the DPS meta is a fusterclucking mess right now. I don't even think it'll ever get fixed either. While I would say since I don't follow the meta and play casually it isn't my problem, nor anyone else's like me, but that isn't true on account of the reason this thread was made.
