All I will say is that they really need to change the curve, players should be able to get job points faster <200

The whole point of the massive JP grind is to give players long-term content. It's good for that in theory but it does a horrible job at easing players into it, also the fact players are capped out and so many walk around with the stars shows it failed on both fronts. With the double/trip xp campaigns people cap out fast on apex crabs or aoe burning and everyone else can't get past the 200 mark.

As with everything in ffxi the devs seem to aim everything at the strongest and best geared players and forget about the majority.
