Whenever someone brings this up, I feel like they're not understanding the root issue.
Balancing only is an issue on high-end content. Look at any competitive online gaming scene with pro gamers, every big game is balanced around the pro scene. Why? because WHO THE FK CARES ABOUT BALANCE IN BRONZE/SILVER.
You would never see any, ANY FORM OF COMPETITIVE GAME balance itself around "majority" of the playerbase rather than based on players who are at the highest of skill levels.

Same applies to FFXIV. Did you ever enter roulette dungeon and think "damn only if this guy did more damage" or "damn this content is hard to clear with our team comp"? no, because they're designed to be so damn easy.
Even when you run lvl 90 regular content, there is a HUGE disparity between individual players on the same job in terms of performance. Some people will pull 4-5k with a melee dps while others will pull 9k+ on same jobs, yes some of them are not even trying or even paying attentions but that's the fucking point, LOW END CONTENT IS SO EASY PEOPLE DONT EVEN PAY ATTENTION, why would anyone care about balance in these contents?
