The current job design system is not fit for purpose

Technically the game needs both "types".
Simplistic options for: Tank, healer, melee DPS, and "distance DPS" (Since "ranged" has a different meaning here) since some players want simplistic.
But it also needs harder/more complex of each of those. Lastly, the game currently lacks "faster" versions of each role. (2s GCD or even LOWER, like 1.5s) currently GNB is the fastest, but its still not as fast as some of the melee DPS. You can say AST has cards, but its GCD is still too long for ppl who want shorter GCDs. For ranged, they all have the normal GCD speed, with small buffs that occasionally shorten it. I have friends who ONLY play distance DPS, and quit the game due to the GCD slowness. I have tank friends who did the same, even with SBs DRK having a small window for GCD reduction by a tiny amount. (Same with healer)

I also have a friend who wanted a complex tank, and atm, the closest is PLD, and he's quickly losing interest, cuz it feels "medium" in difficulty. But I also have the opposite sentiment from a friend who only JUST got into tanking, with how over easy its become (DRK and WAR being the most notable), as he's always wanted an easy tank to play.

And thats just "playstyle". We have other issues regarding what players want, but thats for another thread.
