Not to mention if you're not having fun.
But, what I really wanted to do was get my opinion of ffxiah forum type advice. There are quite a few people who really know a lot about... pretty much anything that gets asked. And if someone asks their advice, they are going to get what they know to be the best answer.
Any kind of disagreement about X vs Y aside, there are sometimes some reasons why the person can't or won't follow the advice. If the person really hates job X and has no desire whatsoever to play it -
that's okay. Or whatever situation - specific piece of gear, gearset, whatever it is. You got an "A" grade answer, (probably) but in some cases you're okay with "B." Yeah, the person answering the question might disapprove, but that's no reason for anyone to get upset.
Just remember that what you asked about may be tougher/longer/impossible.
And really... how silly would it be, if I truly disliked something, to do that thing just for the approval of someone I don't even know? (Not even their approval, as they'd likely never ever see what katana I offhand, for example.)
