New Jobs - Will you aby burn or no?

The new jobs sound awesome, but I honestly don't think I'll do much with them once I unlock them, just because I've invested too much time into the jobs that I already play.

I quite enjoy soloing/old school partying for a change every now and again, especially if a job has a unique skill, so it's more interesting to skill it as you level than to skill up 300 levels afterwards. I'm currently levelling PLD and BLU slow time.

The trouble with leeching or even soloing Rune Fencer is that you won't get much of a feel for which tools help the best to get/hold hate, not to mention sometimes the learning is the fun part.

Not sure there will be any need since they shouldn't require refresh from atmas. Unless of course, they take forever to cast and the fast-cast atmas are of use.

You cannot enter Abyssea as a Rune Fencer/Geomancer.

I LOL at this

why would anyone leech the new job or any job. what the fun in that?o.O. once it come out it gonna be sad seeing over 1k people leeching it and then bragging they 99!

Who cares how some one else does it. It's there way to play. You wanna go old school and grind it out for 6 month's, go for it. The argument about being better at the job because of the grind you put into it tho is crap. Being good at a job depends on the player. Not the amount of time put into it.

If it was possible to somehow level to 99 on the new jobs like how Trinity learned how to fly a helicopter in The Matrix, I'd do that.

Just kidding, I'd probably want to level outside Abyssea (FoV) as much as bearable before entering - instead of being a keyman or spending gil on a FC afk.

Who brags about 99? We don't get to 99 to brag, we get to 99 to play the game. It's not an achievement, it's a prerequisite. 90% of what you do before 99 is waste time trying to get to 99. Why is that such an essential experience to you?

I completely understand if people want to do it this way, but it won't make them a better player. It's just personal preference. Some people like trying new jobs out at lower levels. Some don't. What's the big deal with either way?

For geomancer, ill certainly take it to 49 in case its a good sub for something. As far as Rune Fencer goes, im gonna try my best to xp it till 60-65. There are absolutely no camps to xp from 65-75 and then hit abyssea. After 65 its time to hit abyssea.

What always used to happen when a new job was released? Your local server hotshots would power level the job up as fast as they possibly could. They'd join some sort of burn party, and race to cap. No one really cared then, I'm not sure why we should care now.

Should just start the jobs off at lvl75 honestly and just require another job of 75 or higher to unlock them. Why bother with the waste of space that is the 1-74 range in modern XI where there's no content of worth doing?
