EXP divert for Level 80s?

Is this something others approve of? Let me know your thoughts!

This system already exists in PvP.

I would rather have exp rewards. Neverwinter has that. When you are capped but receive enough exp that you would have leveled, you automatically get a random item reward. I think it would be a fun way to get things like priority aether passes, enlistment manuals, cordials etc.

We sort of have this with the gear system.

Greed everything, and turn it in to your GC (Also there's a setting to send gear to your inventory instead of armory chest, I recommend this to make it easy to filter the 'junk'). I have pretty much unlimited glamor prisms and more grade 7 dark matter than I can ever use thanks to this. I believe you can also trade for cordials if you use them.

To my understanding, you use to not be able to do this. But with the start of Shadowbringers at least, you can que into PvP as one job, and then swap to another once you enter the instance. The experience you gain will go towards the job you qued as not the job you played on.

Well, it doesn't make any sense for you to lose 90% of your HP when you switch from a sword to a frying pan...

For the roulette itself, yes.

But for any challenge log entries you might complete while playing a dungeon with a level 80 character (eg. third roulette this week, fifth commendation given) the EXP is not substituted for tomes. Instead of the big chunk of EXP you would have gained on a leveling class, you get 0 EXP and 1000 gil.

You see that message and you know you've stuffed up. >_<

Considering how bad some people who actually leveled their job are, I'm not sure it's a good idea...
I mean, I frequently encounter SAM or PLD not knowing they have a DOT

If there was a divert mechanic I could see it going to either the chocobo at some percentage of xp earned or contributing to the rested bonus in some way. They're not going to give direct xp to another job for playing on another one.

Aha one tank from my static was like that, he joined for some innocence farm and I was like '' why don't you put your dot? '' '' there's a dot?? ''
To which everyone was like '' seriously? ''

That was quit epic, however he never play dps ever so... I can't really blame him... He leveled the job doing fates mostly

So you can have max jobs you never played if you wanted to? No thanks :)
