And yet I play with my static and eeeeevery person brings the job they like. Optimisation be damned. What an amazing concept, I know. Playing what you like.

Balance has its place but not to the point where we are right now. That's not a good enough reason to make the vast majority of the rest of the game unfulfilling either. And I've yet to see a PF group who shoots down [job] after they've been waiting for 45 minutes. People who always go on about the illusion of choice want the game to be as boring as possible, I swear. lol
