At the absolute core of any DPS you have 2 choices, Sustained DPS or Burst DPS. The 2 minute meta has killed of sustained DPS and this is what people are saying when they say job identity or uniqueness or however they want to say it is being killed. I am of the opinion that every job does play differently, but they all play differently in the confines of being a burst DPS. We will soon have no sustained DPS jobs left (unless you want to count healers, but healers already have issues there).

I kinda get y'all dislike the two minutes meta, and I get there are famous people that dislike it too, but as somebody put it earlier in this thread, people that don't mind about it won't take the time to argue against it, as they are not even aware that there is a controversy around it, as I was. That's why we can't get any statistical idea of what the proportion of people disliking it is. Ergo why I already tried to discuss class identity instead of discussing about that.
This might just be my ignorance showing, however, every time someone brings up the fact they dislike the 2 minute meta, you always have more people agree than disagree. You would have thought, if you enjoyed it, you would want to say something. You never know, you might have a thought that the 2 minute meta opposers didn't think of, which causes them to think. These discussions need to happen and pros and cons need to be built up. Is everyone going to agree? Probably not, but that shouldn't stop the discussions from happening.
