And again you just choose to take what you want out of the post rather than seeing the forest for the trees. I am saying that RDM getting dropped post-prog is not a Shadowbringers feature: it has been a consistent problem with the job since they fixed the mana exploit because of its insane raise tax. This is not a good thing, again, the key phrase here is: CONSISTENT. PROBLEM. And you have no idea what his group wanted, the player probably dropped RDM of their own volition to go to BLM since they now know the fights and they share 99% of their gear.

His overall point was that "meta isn't everything" because he cleared with a red mage and not a black mage. Does that mean it wasn't a little bit harder? debatable, but not the point he was making.
