I had a friend of mine also who wanted the buffs aligned back in ShB, he instantly regretted it when he finished the first tier of Pandaemonium. He stopped playing after clearing DRS.

I myself didn't really care whether buffs were aligned or not back then, but now that I've had one of my favourite jobs reworked to fit into the 2 minute burst, I miss having them misaligned. The burst is just too potent that any job not taking advantage of it is deemed unviable, which in turn requires homogenizing them into a burst job to conform.
