    I know plenty of people who regularly achieve 100 percentiles and participate in the WF race that strongly believe in min-maxing job comp. Opinions in hardcore circles tend to be just as diverse as any other segment of the game, and emphasizing the meta doesn't necessarily indicate that someone is somehow an inferior player.

    If you're trying to pug the final fight week 1, you're usually going to end up in groups with players of varied skill levels. When your ability to clear is suddenly tied to your ability to overperform and make up for someone else's deficit, job choice can really start to feel like it matters. It doesn't matter how skilled you are in those situations, there are absolutely cases where "if I was playing x job, I would have already cleared this fight" can be unfortunately valid.

    I've been burned by people caring about the meta, and really really don't care for it myself, but this meme just kind of generalizes and mischaracterizes.

    We agree, then. The meme is a caricature, as they always are, you're not supposed to take them personnaly.

    Of course, in PUG, composition matters, and of course you may need to swap if some players in your static underperform, what I mean, and what I used this meme for, is just mocking players that want everyone to follow the meta blindly and forget the fun people can choose to have. I respect hardcore players that do the world first race or whatever, but "hardcore players" that take 3 weeks to clear P4S with a perfect meta-compliant composition are just posers.

    I don't care about those people, but let's be honest : if I can trigger them, I will, because I'm just bored of them trying so hard to prove they're better than others when they're just meta slaves with nothing to back them.
