Granted it's not the same, but in FFXI you also had to change jobs if for a certain event, someone had to leave, or at Dynamis Lord. This just makes it easier and less troublesome and also cuts downtime by a lot. I've had people that want to lock themselves in one job (say WHM) and yet they show up at events and their gear needs a lot of working around. Then they get upset when you ask them to switch to BLM, for something like AV.

It's just a matter of who do you play with. In a pick-up of course people won't be trusting, because their goal is in the hands of strangers, and I understand if they want to add as little variables to the event as possible. But if you're playing with a group of friends, there shouldn't be many issues, if any at all. Not every strategy works for every group and people shouldn't be scared to play around with the content, and figure it out by themselves.
