>I want them to erase the 2 minute meta altogether
2min meta isn't even bad, it's just the stuff in between the 2min meta that is fucking boring

If they want all content to be consumed by everyone, then the jobs have to be dumb enough to be played by everyone
This is why they decided to turn all jobs into endwalker summoner because they think they can make up for it with mechanics
The mechanics? Dodge the orange circles and funny bees...... wow...
If you look at OTHER GAME's class design, they have a lot of "juggling" based abilities, which is basically "keep these things up, get procs and activate godmode." and then "while in godmode, every time you get another proc and keep your things up, you get +1s to godmode"
We simply can't have shit like that. SE went complete scorched earth on their combat and job philosophies. Everything has to be meticulously calculated down to a subatomic level and so easy that a blind paraplegic monkey could play it.
So the gist of it is that no, SE feels that jobs are meant to be rigid and encounters are where the "flexibility" comes into play. I don't see why they'd change this philosophy now, when they are doubling down on it with stuff like Quantum.
