I won't lock it out unless it's preventing me clearing. But the last 2 days I've been trying to do Unreal and they hit enrage always. So it will probably force my hand next week. I got frustrated relying on randoms' DPS and did it as a Pictomancer so I could clear this week.

they were doing it last tier... its probably only going to get worse

In case someone is planning on locking out MCH next week.
Please keep in mind that MCH was the "best" pRanged below 60% last tier. If you and the majority of your Party is Blue or lower on a non-pRanged Job, MCH will most likely be the better choice to let in.

Are people really blocking others because of the Jobs they play?

What kind of ass backwards logic is that?

There's no point in locking out other people based on their jobs.
Whatever fills the party can clear the fight.

Been happening since Heavensward. No matter how little the difference in damage between different jobs, there will always be people who will lock out a job just for having 0.001 lower dps than another.

The point is that there’s hopefully one less weak link in the team, so when you’ve spent a bunch of time waiting for your party finder to fill then there’s hopefully one less reason to wipe. Having the stronger job on your team means that player does better damage and it potentially compensates for their own underperformance. And if they’re playing well enough then they can do above average damage and can compensate for other players underperforming.

But it really sucks if the job you want to play is below average (or at least perceived that way) to the point where it gets locked out of PF.

There is, if the job is so undertuned that it is simply not viable to pick up into content that you need good dps for.

It's not Heavensward Monk bad, but it's close. You could still clear stuff with it, and it is easier to play than bard at least. But that's about all it has going for it aside from good damage in the first week or two. Funnily enough, the thing that helps everyone enjoy the content at their own pace for raiding makes Machinist a lot worse since everyone has less gear to work with, which MCH thrives in.
