Who should we take seriously?

If not the people for whom job balance literally makes or breaks their objective, then who?

The Speedrunners? Speedrunners don't actually care about job balance, they care about getting the fastest possible kill time, which has very little to do with balancing. The only case they overlap is when they want to speedrun, get the best potential runtime, and do it on any job they feel like playing at the time.

The...average joe? I can tell you people don't take me seriously on the matter.

The week 1 clearers? If we're not taking World Race views seriously, why should we take the Not-As-Dedicated-As-World-First people seriously?

World First race teams that use unexpected picks say volumes about the state of Job Balance without having to say anything, but it's also usually what we don't want to hear.
