The importance of job points

[Afania]

I'm not ignoring what he said above it, but that deals with current content. What I'm looking at is the future, and unless they make CP far more available, then the future looks bleak. If you don't believe me then the fact that someone like Byrth has a similar notion should tell you something.

If I understand Byrth's opinion correctly(feel free to correct me if I'm wrong), he was saying "The gap between hardcore and casual player's performance shouldn't be huge". Basically he was against the fact that JP makes such a huge difference in terms of performance. He didn't say a thing about "we should be able to cap JP faster" unless I missed something.

If I understand your opinion correctly(again, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong), you were asking SE to lower JP cost, making every category faster to cap, thus shortening the game's lifespan.

If that's the case then your opinion is not the same as Byrth's opinion at all. Byrth's opinion still keeps hardcore busy with stuff to grind, it's just that hardcore player's performance isn't that much ahead. Your opinion is to ask every hardcore to sit in town and have nothing to do because everything is faster to cap.
