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.
