Balance, Homogenisation and Encounter Design: The Problem.

Imagine a different world: in a world with mob kiting, ranged jobs would be mandatory; in a world where healers are needed to separate ways from the rest of the group, RDM heals and actions like raise would be a hundred times more meta definining than DPS numbers.

that sounds like an awful world and I'm glad FFxiv is not that game.
