Hehe, the best thing for me about being a whm...
Is that there is ALWAYS a white mage in my parties^.~
Being said, I actually have noticed a lack of tanks recently.
More than once, a party has broken due to there not being any tanks lfg.
I think there at the higher levels (post 20, 30, 40, 50) that there are less people looking for group, and thus, there are less possible "ideal" parties that could be formed.
Personally, at my level...
I think there are maybe seven or eight other white mages who exp reguarly. We all wind up filling in for each other at parties, and very rarely do others show up.
And off peak hours, there are even less. I typically, because of my college, get to play at both JPN and NA peak times. But when I play off hours, I am usually the ONLY whm my level lfg.
What does all mean?
It means what people have been saying for a while now.
That as your level gets higher, there are fewer and fewer people exping jobs. Add to the fact that post the subjob range, 37, there are fewer people willing to take "certain" key jobs to 75.
WHM, BLM, SMN, NIN, and WAR are all examples of this. BLM, WHM, and SMN are all subjobs for RDM, BRD, and each other. WAR and NIN are subs for PLD, RNG, NIN, WAR, DRK, and what-have-you.
That all no doubt plays a role in all this too.
Then again, it is all from your perspective. Like I have said, I never notice a "lack" of whm like some do, but instead I notice a "lack" of tanks.
But then again, that could just be me.
