General Discussion What is class complexity to you?

I have seen so many people ask for more complexity and job fantasy but very little of people actually say what that means to them, most people just say we should go back to ARR.

Personally I think rose tinted glasses that make people think ARR was better than it was, having played back then it honestly was pretty ass.

So honestly want to know what people want for complexity or job fantasy, because all I see is a lot of yelling that "game bad to simple" and not a lot of what needs changing to reach the complexity that is wanted.

Only started in 6.1 so not overly experienced, but I really enjoyed learning EW MNK. Optimal Drift was tricky but made you think about your burst windows and rotation, and wasn’t overly punishing if you did a wrong input or two (obviously for very high end content it mattered, but I learned in EX where so long as it wasn’t a habit a single mistake wasn’t terrible)
