This results in the people that actually LIKE monk getting shafted and being unable to play the class they want to play.
Yes, DRG are better at garuda but what you are leaving out is a dedicated MNK is always better than regular DRG. The only MNk that get left out is the terrible one. I was MNK main and i made it work for Garuda, i didn't whine that my MNK doesnt get invited, instead i refined the strat, find a unique position for MNK in Garuda party to convince people to let me try it, and i did.

This whole thing is community issue and PUG mentality to go with the least resistance path.
