Has anyone ever bothered to look up Alhanelem's character Tahngarthor? With only 5/20 jobs at 99 and the rest under 55 with one still level 1 he clearly is the type of player that only wants to put effort into specific jobs that he plays. So the point of meriting more WS is pointless to him because he can't use them. Specializing is what this guy is all about, period. Even his crafting is focused solely on cooking, probably the one craft where you don't need sub crafts often. he is rank 10 in Bastok and that's it, why? cause that's all he wants. So arguing with him about expanding your character is pointless because he is unable to process it.

Me, on the other hand, my goal is to get everything done as best as possible. I have all jobs at 99 and was working on getting them all to 75 pre-Aby. Why? Not because I intended on playing every job but because it was a goal offered in the game. When I got to 75 on one job I would set it aside and work on the next. When I got to rank 10 in Sandy, I went on to Bastok. When I got 60 on cooking I went onto Smithing and then decided to take Leathercraft to 100 simply because the crafting material mostly came from mobs, so it was cheaper and easier. I have capped Dagger, Hand-Hand and Axe ws because at this moment I mostly play Thf, Mnk (at the time I merited the ws) and BST for Dynamis. Drg was my first job choice but I have Drakesbane and that was good enough for me at the time. I also play Blu a lot but saw no purpose in getting that WS at the time.

Am I the absolute best I can be at each job? Heck no. I love playing blu but still can't grasp the concept of a FC Party. I know its about doing max damage to a group of mobs to kill them with one or two attacks, but is it all about the gear you use or the atma? I still need RR atma and now I wish I had gotten it when Aby first came out instead of leveling my jobs slowly, but oh well. Has not having RR hampered me? A bit yeah, but so has solo playing, and yet I've still got a lot done in the game. I just don't have all the coolest toys, but since I've got a lot of the ingame missions and goals done, guess I don't really need those cool toys to have fun.

I would like to be able to get all 15 WS just because their available. I don't care about specializing I just like to accomplish goals, that's the whole point of this game in my opinion. Check them off the list.

Now, talking about specializing, this game ISN'T designed for people to specialize in one or two jobs. How do I mean? Look at all the past end game stuff and battles. What were the popular jobs back in CoP? ToA? Hell, look at LB10, everyone wanted MNK and PLD and if you didn't have those, you were out of luck. People with other jobs wanted MNK and PLD to do the fight for them while they sat back in safety. Was it so hard to level MNK to do the fight? I remember doing the S.Ascension battle, everyone wanted SMN. I leveled SMN from 20-75 just for that battle and only finally soloed it with 99 SMN cause I was tiered of pts going in half-cocked thinking it was a cake walk. And despite Aby being open to all jobs what were the popular ones for that?

Specializing in a single job is pointless because when ever SE reveals something new that requires a different job, people will only want those jobs and if the player doesn't have it, will raise heck about it because now they have to level a new job. What's going to be the job of choice when Dungeon Crawl comes out? What ever it is you can bet that the specialists will raise heck if they don't have that job leveled.

So I say level everything to 99 so you have the options available and open up all the WS so you have those available when you need them. Putting limitations on things doesn't force players to "specialize" it forces players to STOP. Stop growing, stop experiencing new battles and adventures, stop discovering that maybe they'll enjoy playing a new job because the WS is more fun. If you don't want to get 5 WS because you're afraid you won't be SPECIALized anymore, then don't. Stop at 3. If you want 5 you should have the option of getting it. It doesn't hurt the game after all.

SE puts limits not force players to specialize but because their own imagination is limited. They expanded the limits of the game with Aby and got in crap for that.
