Rate of Leveling and the New Player Experience

The storys for the jobs and AF lines are pretty good for some of them... Even FFXIV has quests for theirs, you are asking them to dumb it down too much.

Most "new players" are going to be returnees, they have seen them all before.

I've unlocked every job and taken them all (almost to 99) years ago, as a returnee with a new char I really don't wanna do all that again, or if they do at least streamline it to the minimum. run to point a, click b, click through 2 lines of text, goto point c, etc.

I like many things in FFXI but the immense time wasting is not one of them. Unlocking dancer for instance isn't just the fun story it's the immense amount of trekking around and reading guides to do it. Die on the way? back you go!

When you get home from work to put a few hours into the game you don't want to spend hours unlocking a job and have no "fun" time.

I remember reading about some changes to atma a while ago, can anyone tell me if you still unlock the atmas as you used to or has it been changed now? If you still have to unlock them all I guess I won't be getting into aby at 75.
