With a party in Woh gates it is effectively the same speed as meriting used to be at the 75 cap.
Then there is a flaw in their DESIGN, because as long as I've been on I haven't seen anyone interested in forming a party for these. Heck, most of the time no one is around at all. The community just isn't there anymore to support this content.

Personally I have something to show for my hard work on a job that someone else can't just come in and cap because they go to an event like delve constantly on the same job and are getting points without trying to get points. How many things in this game can you say you have from hard work? I know I am a dedicated BLU because I get off my butt and occasionally throw together a job point party in dho or woh gates or I can destroy mobs solo.
Don't take this the wrong way, but only you care about how special you feel. I know I'm not here to feel special. I just want to build as effective a character as I possibly can while having fun.

We have everything else practically handed to us as is.
I disagree. I feel like I struggle for everything. Sure things suck less than in the past, but there are still roadblocks to success.

As for more popular jobs gaining job points faster. It is honestly not much of an issue. I have taken a SMN to Dho gates CP farms. You kill all the mobs around there with 5 as is with virtually no grouping penatly. GEO and BLM can get them fine there and in Skirmish (I take GEO to Delve, as a 7th).
There is really no reason a DRG THF DNC etc can't make a Dho gates pt if they really want job points. If I wanna grab merits AND job points I trio WHM BLU SMN to Cirdas and get points there with incredible ease so you don't even have to be in a 5-6 man pt. Sometimes I wonder if people put thought into the game they are playing.
It's great that you can find the people you need at will. It's great that you're satisfied with a party of 119 level people not "meriting" any faster than a party of 75s while requiring far more points for far less of a boost.
