Because obsessive focus on raid buffs got us to where we are now. It was a mistake, and it was an obvious one in hindsight.
It's gonna be great when they announce the new job(s) at Fanfest, because there's only two ways it can go now: either they don't have a raidbuff and are considered a 'selfish DPS' like SAM or BLM, or they do and we immediately know it's a 2min. Exciting. 'Wow Geomancer is the new caster, I wonder what the CD is on it's raidbuff'. I'm pretty sure I'd be more excited for the former, just because I don't really care for raidbuffs as a design, like I really do not see why RPR needed to have the 3%, instead of just the 'Plentiful Harvest' interaction. The only job I'd see 'raidbuff lol' on and say 'yep that makes 100% sense and I cannot envision it being any other way' would be BLU due to how oddball it's moveset was in older games, but we all know where that poor job ended up.

Yo SE, when's BLU getting raised to level 80, so we can all spend exactly two days playing it to the new cap, learning all the skills, and then forgetting it exists for another few years?
