Easy Mode MP: No Thanks!

[Shurrikhan]

If you'd just stated that the caster jobs are OP, then how is it ridiculous for players to stack them?
Why would increased MP costs and reduced MP pool be enough to solve the problem?
Why would a slow, tedious over 25 minute fight be any more satisfying upon completion than a more fun 10 minute fight?
If you added MP cost to every weaponskill, non-caster classes would be likewise nerfed by reduced mana pools, and without means to regenerate, meaning that casters will not only be the nuking jobs and classes, but also the outlasting ones.
I think you may see an increased sanity to your posting if you'd refrain from using the word "immersion" for a few lengthy posts.

Stacking classes doesn't involve skill - it's just buttonmashing. This kind of trash is why the game is filled with /faceroll l33t players who get PL'd to 50 in 5 hours.

And how is a 10 minute spamfest of BLM x 7 even fun? That's just lazy, entitled players.

I never said it would be fun. I just don't see a connection between length and entertainment in the case of raids, at least not at those ranges. The solution won't be job diversity alone.

Stacking classes, in and of itself, also has nothing to do with button-mashing or not. The fact that so many jobs feel like button-mashing, regardless of how many others of the same class are present, is the greater let-down.

This is a classic example of an opinion.
