How about my WAR I burned from 35-90 and then skilled all weapons needed for Red !!s so that was another option available? I play those jobs better than a large amount of people I've partied with that were on them and I'm even better geared on them usually. Was that luck on my part since I didn't learn how to play them by leveling outside Abyssea?
I burn jobs because its helpful to myself and/or others. I'm ok with Abyssea burning because I don't see a difference between a level 30+ "key master" and a level 75+ "key master" as I know in a good group it is a full time job and you don't need to be 75+ to know how to do it. I also don't see the difference between a level 30+ newb and a 75+ newb, I take the time to read up/ask questions on a given job so I know how to play it decently, neither of these are done through partying outside of Abyssea.
Also LOL at thinking getting a job to cap gives you bragging rights. Unless you mean offering a job to help a group is bragging about it. Beating Maat on RDM would give you some bragging rights assuming its your first job.
