I mean, your wish has been granted since monk performs better than reaper in pure numbers. Has since EW's launch? Reaper is just the new hot thing so many people are taking it for a spin and playing very competitively with it.

I also think people who care about performance comparisons between jobs vs other people playing their job is not a case of "people should be rewarded for less effort and not have to try." It sounds like you want to be rewarded for playing what you perceive to be the more difficult job.

All jobs in this game are super monke, and the only skill comes from using your toolkit effectively within the environment of the encounter.

MNK isn't the only other DPS that exists and I've said in the past that MNK is too strong too.

All Jobs are super monke on a base level yes but I am not rly talking about base level I am talking about pushing it higher.
RPR does have some more depth to it but the difference between a low and high skill RPR is still lower than it is for MNK and it's like that for a reason because yes RPR is easier to play even if MNK isn't hard to play at a baseline level of competency.
This goes beyond simple perception.
And some Jobs have a harder time using their skill set within fights that's why the difference between a bad, average and amazing BLM has been so incredibly high historically.

As a side note too if I was so biased here then I wouldn't be saying the things I've said about MNK because I've mained MNK since ARR.
