The importance of job points

[Camiie]

JP are not as hard to get as the naysayers here are making out; job point bonuses are not as great as they're making out either. You can farm JPs in your spare time if you're not a hardcore player.

The funny part is merit points weren't that easy when they were new and i never saw people complain about it like this (for these reasons at least).

So you really don't see any differences in the way the two systems work that would cause people to not mind merits while despising JPs?

Even club and staff wielding jobs can put on a 119 weapon, and use their merit or other good WS and do sufficient damage to chain mobs that any average person would consider soloing. offensive trusts may not be great but they can still help.

Where would you recommend a SMN go solo for safe max JP/hr?
