Is this really FUN in 2012 ?! A reassuring Dev's answer if possible?

[Elexia]

In FF11 people used to throw BLM's and SMN's at bosses all the time, FF14 is worse because you can change whenever

This is the problem with "good players", they want the quickest and most efficient way to kill shit because it would be "annoying" (note: actually a challenge) to fight it any other way.

As for the subject, I'm just reading the title. "Is this Fun in 2012?" Fun is subjective. It's not a gray area, it's black and white, you either find it fun or you don't, there's no standard to subjectivity.
