Who knows. SE is trying to BS us all again. ><

Maybe there really is a magical server somewhere full of WHMs with nothing to do. They are all afraid of dying, so none of them want to lvl a tank. They all just sit in Jeuno, teleporting each other all day.

The 3% BST amuses me, too. I made the point the other day that I know BSTs are scarce, but at the same time I keep thinking Vana'diel is busting at the seams with them since I always notice them. It surprised me that we outnumber Rangers, although that's probably post-nerf fallout.

Darth, rdm has as much benifits as cor or brd.

Latly, and over all time, it's always the damn healer that breaks my pt's. You don't want to know how many times I've come just a healer shy of a badass pt. It's really really annoying, and to be honest it's slowly killing the game. According to everyone, the only healer is whm, and they are getting scarcer despite what S-E says. I've had way more rdm and smn healers the past 50 levels then I have I'd care for, even though they are excellant healers.

Rdm brings alot to the table.. especially when they can convert. Red mage is Vanadiel's expert enfeebler, and let us not forget as it's been said many times before that Rdm is probably the most verstatile job in the game.. they can enfeeble, heal, nuke ( and mb), melee, refresh, and dispel.

I'm not discounting any of the support jobs.
I, like many other's, enjoy the brd's AOE refresh, and accuracy enhancements, etc..
Where Rdm turns the mob into a sniveling pool of goo, the brd beefs the party up to make the mob "feel" like a sniveling pile of goo.

Then there's Corsair with their exp boon, in a good party makes the lvl's fly by (with sanction, and exp rings especially)... every job brings something unique to the table.

I agree there can be other healer jobs, and I've main healed as whm, smn, rdm, and blm... yes.. I have.. didn't like it.. but I did it..

It's really easy to get burned out on healing... staring at mp bars the whole time, and watching party chat for status ailments, and waiting for a flashy graphic from the <bt> to throw a "erase" "poisona" or whatever before someone gets upset they were "disabled" for two more seconds then they feel they should have been.

I am still of the opinion that a healer job and/or a tank job should have been introduced instead of dd and support.


I would really like to know how they interpret "mains" though... is it the highest lvl on that char?

what if they have multiple 75's like mentioned earlier.. maybe it was the job you were on when they took their "snapshot".

more information should be given by SE in regards to "how they acquired these numbers".

oh yeah.. I seem to recall.. everyone that had a mule on the hydra server had to lvl it to at least 2, otherwise it would be deleted instead of transferred to another server.

I wonder how interesting and "stable" things would be if they allowed free migration from any server to any server.. .and just to start a derail.. I think one server of that should be allowed free PVP.

What I mean is that with a world pass from another server.. anyone could transfer to another server.. anytime, as often as they like.. just a thought easy cross world movement.. one day you're on this server.. next you're on this one... blah blah.. *edited here.

I've heard from friends on other servers, things are very different from world to world...
example.. on another server, SH is not very highly encouraged... I can't imagine it either.. but it's true from what I hear.

*added another entry

First off, I don't think they will ever get free fighting PVP. Maybe when Final Fantasy XIV (or whatever the next mmo will be) comes out it'll have something, but I doubt it. There is so much emphasis on partying and helping everyone out that random killings would feel out of place.

As for free migration, I don't think things would necessarily become that unstable, as I don't think that many people would switch servers. I think if there are servers that are really that low on population, then they should just combine them, taking two smalls and making a medium.
 
A lot of the jobs in the lower percentages tend to be the hardest jobs to master or the most expensive

A lot of people are jumping on the rdm bandwagon I think, i just see them every friggin where what is rare is to find a bard or ranger, ive only pted with a bard like twice from 1-55 on rdm and 4 times on rng.

Whm I feel bad for since the image of the job implies that you MUST HELP PEOPLE. Rdm can be that way too as well as pld, i be they are the top anoners along with bard

Go BST, SMN, BLU, and of course RDM woot!
 
I've gotten an invite for brd once after waiting for five hours in valkurm dunes...as my SMN >.>;

And I'm thinking they got these statstics similar to how they got the ls member stats. Just watched the servers for a day and jotted down ppls jobs.
