Let me tell you that every game consists of atleast 20-30 SMN and 20-30 WHM. I'm not even joking.
The only time there is some sort of normality is when I queue up with the PvP veterans because they at least mix it up somewhat, be ready to get absolutely destroyed by DRK and AST.
Honestly I don't think anybody who took more than 5 seconds to give it some thought believed the posts about "JP players don't have any issues with SMN due to superior skill" or whatever illogical claim.

In fact, if the JP servers have better players, I'd expect your post to be true, as abusing SMN LB stacking is probably the easiest way to win FLs consistently, without a single BH, I believe (Forgot the exact potency so can't check whether or not it'd work) that it takes only 4 Megaflares to kill 49,500 hp jobs, which is honestly pretty silly considering the size of the AoE.

Mad respect for AST players in FL though, shit is actually really entertaining to play and I don't even like playing healers.
