    I must be wired differently from the rest of the playerbase. Because I actually enjoy whm. And when friends and ls members want me to come whm to events, I know it's because they trust me to play the job to the best of my ability. They think I do a good job as whm and knowing that makes me happy and I do my very best to not let them down. I have more than one empyrean weapon and I can proc any red, yellow or blue in abyssea, but I still end up as whm most of the time, and that's fine. I'm secretly a little bit proud that my friends think I'm a good whm. So yeah, guess I'm weird eh? :/

    Edit: kinda posted this before I finished lol.
    Anyway, what I meant to say is nobody is forcing anyone to level a job they don't like. But for one - how do you know you won't like it until you've tried it? Being lvl 20 whm in a Qufim level sync party isn't quite the same as duoing Isgebind war/sam and whm. As an example. I managed to get blm to lvl 57 well before abyssea was introduced. But I hated it... However, I leeched to around 75 and then joined normal abyssea exp parties. And 90 blm is fun - in Abyssea at least!

    Also, those that are so against lvling and playing a job you don't like (or think you don't like) - wouldn't you lvl that job to help out your ls/lowman group to be more efficient?

    I'm really happy for you that you get to play the game on a job that you enjoy that's what games are supposed to be about. Now to answer your question for me in particular it's not so much that i'm against leveling an alternate job to play and I have. But it's kinda like second best. If I go for my favorite ice cream and the shop is out sure i'll try another flavor but its not the same. Why settle for second best when you could do something you really love? I like to focus on and perfect a main and that's kinda hard when that main is smn without reliable procs. Plus working two jobs in rl it's hard to spread my time/focus among several mains and any one of them be outstanding.
