Make the base classes stand on their own instead of just something that you bring out once in a while because you don't want to rework your main job's action bars. I have yet to find the motivation to take off my soul crystal on Black Mage - partly because of lore, but mostly because there's no need to go back. If Thaumatuge was more like XI's red mage, however...
And the only time I've taken my warrior crystal off is to go into PvP and troll people, not even because I think it's a serious job to bring in there.
The system needs another look.
