It's sort of how THFs feel now with this new 2h update. An AH geared melee job (which imo, is not a decked out player since most of the best equip is no AH-attainable) can now out spike a pimped out THF. Is that fair? Someone who has spent a lot of time to gear in hecta/homan is not nothing more than a glorified lucky rabbits foot.

Fugee-la-la

And...bingo.
But you know, that's the awesomeness that is Square-Enix.
And while it might sound extremely bitter, I'm quite sure it is because of the high lack of good DRG, SAM, and DRK, that S-E had to make it to where the vast majority of those players can practically pack larger numbers to compensate for their horribly kitsch playing abilities, and only elevating those players who understand how to play their jobs correctly.

Thusly assumed, can we now say that those who chose to stick to their LV75 THF are considered something of a hardcore breed? Because we have never hit for much DoT wise to begin with. Inferring to the antics would only seemingly place us further down the bottom of the DD totem pole as far as utility and damage dealing are concerned, save the PUP (but obviously uncertain as of late) Those of us that do have good sense do actually buy ninja tools and spend our money on stacks of bolt quivers, and exerting a great deal of time to acquire Rare/ex items that actually benefit our job greatly (Since an AH THF, while skilled, is usually always lacking)

So no.
It's obviously not about the relationship between Gil and Damage output.
Because I assure you that I spend about as much, if not close to, as a Ranger probably would on Ammunition. (Yes I use both Arrows and Bolts, and sometimes even Throwing)

And it's not wholly about time spent either, because it pains me to think that I have to push for a good month or so to get an awesome body piece through assault points, vs. a job that has never done an assault in a great while.

But I think more importantly to the reasoning as to why you even play the job that you do is because...you are actually passionate about the job you play and could care less if another DD outdamages you because they were programmed that way through a bias scope?....

Nah; That just sounds way too much like a romantic.

I guess I completely only play THF because I couldn't give a flying flip about any other job's performance over my own (Insert random Non-conformist opinions here); I am most confident to say that I play the job quite well, and possibly better than a SAM or DRK main ever would or could. And cool if it brings bias to the job since other jobs can outdamage it; People always seem to let new fads cramp their style for a bit, until they get tired of it and jump to something popularly 'efficient', of which you'll probably notice the waves fully and effectively stirring with the release of the new expansion.
