Well, since they're keeping this out of Abyssea, here's to hoping they add the ability to group with Trusts this update, as well as do something about the EXP penalty while partying.

I'm perfectly okay with the idea of having to group up for EXP parties to get these points, but I have a feeling it's not going to be something many people will have much interest in doing when these points can only be acquired by killing Monsters, instead of being able to earn them from Records, as well as the good 'ole Abyssea Zerg, and like Karbuncle said, unless you've got an active Linkshell, finding a PuG for this is going to be a nightmare if you're not a Healer, DD, or a Bard.

The concept is nice, but I can already see the problems with it. I do totally get that SE wants to try and bring back the old school partying of yester-year, but it should have been done through incentives to people for partying, such as increasing EXP while grouped up and what not, instead of simply restricting people and more or less forcing them to group again for Job Points.

But all that said, we don't really know yet how game changing these are going to be, or how neccessary they'll be for end-game content and what not, so it's all hearsay right now until the update goes live, we see the final patch notes, and most importantly, see these in action.
