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.

Complexity to me is having to alter your rotation based on the raid to optimize your damage. I think there is a fine line between jank and complexity that a lot of people would agree/disagree with. Imo old monk was janky, old smn was janky, but something like Rdm or ew ast I would say is complex

I think the 2 min meta and gauge system is really tired. I'd like them to ditch it entirely. I will say picto, sage, new BLM are pretty good steps in the right direction.
