I like seeing unusual combinations pull off something outstanding. Unfortunatly most people doing unusual job combos are doing so because they are too lazy/don't have the time to level a more obviously useful one. Also, alot of the people who are genuinly trying to make an unusual job combination don't have the gil to play it as well as it could.
For example, the NIN/BLM. Having all those elemental staffs would cost around 1.6mil alone, Cerby prices. Normal NIN equip aswell would add around 1mil+ ontop of that. Also there is the high cost of powders for NIN. Not many players would have the bank balance to pull that type of job combo off and the ones who try to without the cash will just look raher... lame.
There are people who have a different sub job to avoid the high cost of leveling a job. Take, for example, NIN/THFs. Most NIN/THFs are so because they 'Want to be a Damage Dealer, not a tank.' That fine... even though subbing /WAR would give them a higher damage output... thats just... ugh @.@;
Also for people trying stuff like DRG/WHM or DRK/RDM thats all well and good but people arn't looking for a Sub-par damage dealer who can heal when they look for a DRK or DRG. They're looking for person trying to do the most damage they can without screwing up hate control on the tank. (Im looking at you DRKs who use Last Resort, Berserk and Souleater at the same time)
I do like my XP PTs to have fun people in them. If my PT isn't having a few laughs or messing around when it gets stale then im one bored PT member. Although on the other hand if the XP is bad I'll give in a 30minute notice and ask if I should find a replacment.
Although i know a bad thing when i see one. NIN/BRD hitting for pittence in Yhorter Jungle, (No Thanks.)
