Obviously Merit Points are the original old-school system, and they can be farmed on any job and spent on anything. My original point here was that my LS requires me to go WHM or RDM for job points runs, and so I end up with lots of what I consider wasted job points, points for a job I don't play except under duress. I don't want divine seal bonuses etc. lol. I want more job points on PUP and WAR. But often we are short of healers and that means I'm getting divine seal etc. job points. I don't think that is fair at all. If I am going WHM to help out and be useful and friendly, and imho playing Whm is kind of joyless and stressful, I don't feel I'm being rewarded for my effort when I can't use those points on something I actually want and need.
You only grind points with your LS? No one else has a healer job? Maybe I'm judging too hard, but some linkshell friends if they don't let you use the jobs you need / want to use. I've only ever grinded solo since job points came out, I joined one party one time but it didn't last very long
