I do remember having a specific set of jobs I would look for like 2 BLU's to split the proc spells they had, about 2 BLMs, different Melee to go through their WS's when we got a hint on what the proc was. A tank, I remember Aegis tanks became very strong again when they adjusted it to MDT II around VW time. BRD, Healers. What was rarely sought after was BST / THF / PUP. But BST and THF were popping off in dyna around this time too so while they weren't really needed for VW they were still used a lot.
It was unbalanced and not true alliance content. BLM+BLU (BRD) covered most of everything. A Warrior could cover most weapon procs. The job "diversity" felt forced, and like Hya said, it was a huge carry most of the time, with people who just sat around waiting for the moment they could either proc or kill to get their reward. Displacers made the fights non-threatening in the end. The fact you could do it with complete randoms/PUGs while arbitrarily cycling JAs/WSs/Spells made it not feel like real alliance content IMO.

For me, it doesn't really matter if you NEED all 18 people to do the content. That would be great, but I'm more than happy with having 18 people come in and being able to contribute to something that isn't grinding some points with a different name like Limbus. Dyna D, Omen, Voidwatch, Legion, etc. Even Geas fete was not bad as the mobs scaled, but it kinda sucked that it was advantageous to do it with less people.
Some of us are out here just trying to hang out with their LS and do some events

Yeah it wasn't balanced having BLU just set spells to proc and not allow them to equip spells to help the fight sucks but before VW was abyssea which was far worst. WAR + NIN for Red procs with TH and a WHM. No other job was even Needed unless a MNK for the blue Proc during Blunt period. Or you were farming seals then you would bring a BLM subbing BRD and hope for the best. So was VW balanced? No! was it better than before at least? actually a lot better imo. I atleast found the content of abyssea and VW a lot of fun.

NIN once upon a time was the King of Abyssea. Probably the height of NIN play

No ones controlling 6 characters with alt+tab lol
I came back and restart 2 boxings (with switch mon) was having some fun. Then i made the mistake of bringing my 3rd box (on my laptop) back for Dyna D entrance, and now I want to quit again. 70% focus on main char
25-30% pocket healer
0-5% on buff job like BRD (tab, hit song macro, tab back), COR (tab, hit roll, tab back) or GEO (tab, indi-whatever or drop bubble, tab back)
Thats your alt-tab 3box. Remember: If you're alt-tabbing, that implies you're not using send.
I don't even pocket healer, if I'm pocket healing it's on my mule sch and she'll regen me and that's it lol.
my 3 box is 90% of the time main + brd + geo or main + brd + cor and maybe 9% of the time main cor, switchmon mule pld, laptop mule geo.
if i have to heal and 3 box it won't be pocket healer, it'll be main healer and 2 x pocket support or at best main whm, switch mon mule pld + laptop geo. That basically already put me at my stress limit
The Ragnarök server as you all may know is avoided by many players.
Why you may ask?
Upon stepping into this server you will notice everyone is followed around by a whole army of bots. Sure, that's okay if you want to clear content until you speak to one of these people. Ragnarok server players all for some reason seem to share the same personality. They are incredibly anti-social and act like know-it-alls. They act superior while regurgitating all the info they read online. There is no originality or thought process inside any of them.
They seem to speak the same way, and even share the same insults. It goes even further in their ignorance of the game where they cannot grasp basic mechanics of nuances of jobs outside of BLU and SAM. This is the server that will crap-talk you for playing PUP while you shit on their DPS solo w/ trusts against their bot army.
You begin to wonder.... why does everyone act like a copy-paste AI version of BG, FFXIAH, and Reddit? Upon further investigation, you notice that the server trolls congregate into one location. The Leafkin LS and Ejiin's Twitch stream, to be exact. You spend about 20 minutes in his stream, and you realize why all of these people bot all day, play the same 3 jobs, and crap talk anything their pea-brained, unemployed, high-school-educated streamer can't understand.
This community has ruined ragnarok and turned it into the most anti-social server. So, when you notice that everyone avoids Ragnarok and it ends up never being locked due to a population increase, that's probably why.
You literally cannot be friends with any of these losers because they think that acting normal is being some elitist asshole in a 20-year-old game in maintenance mode.
AVOID THIS SERVER AT ALL COSTS
