Class System Blues

[fusional]

Players being able to switch to any job at any time removes many players' sense of "uniqueness" and can cause many players to simply want to class-stack

not allowing players to switch jobs actually makes class stacking worse, because then everyone will full-time BLM for the entirety of every single av/cc run- whereas currently people swap in warriors a dragoons for princess, monks for mistress, etc.

so rather than having some diversity in content, you want none? good plan.

edit: upon browsing your lodestone i see you haven't actually experienced nearly any of this content. so now your position makes more sense- just parroting what you've seen other people say (who also haven't experienced the content). for the life of me i can't understand why people do this so often in these forums.

I'm not sure if you actually read my post completely. My point of view is that I can sympathize with the argument in certain ways, but that things are still better off the way they are currently, as the downsides of the suggested alternative are even worse. I explicitly said as much.

Regarding not having completed the current endgame content, I fully admit this, and never have once tried to hide it. I simply do not have fun playing XIV 1.0, so I have no desire to invest the time required to gear myself sufficiently for an endgame that I wouldn't even enjoy. If you look at my post history, you'll see that I absolutely never participate in discussions about endgame content strategy or difficulty, as I have no interest in pretending to have great insight into such topics. However, this particular issue is not exclusive to endgame players -- job flexibility and uniqueness in groups is a topic for debate that's relevant to all players, from level 1 to 50.

how does job switching affect you negatively at all outside of endgame circumstances?
