That was my point, the game just didn't give you insta-30 upon unlocking it.

I'd rather know what I'm doing in the harder dungeons.

I would absolutely love the option to start new jobs at level 1 instead of 30 or proposed 50. I need time to slowly learn the play style and abilities. Throwing all the available abilities at you at once is overwhelming. Especially since the jobs quests are all lore based and make no effort to try to teach the player anything, save for some of the ninja quests. For those who rather jump start off 30 or 50 that's fine, but as I said for us slower folks who enjoy the leveling process please allow us the chance to play from scratch.

Endgame is all still just gear grinding. You're doing the same places over and over again and (with some people) complaining about not going through them fast enough because of noobs. I don't know, I'm in that group that actually likes leveling. I leveled most of the jobs in FFXI and didn't do much endgame. Same on 14. I still have to do Sohr Khai and never stepped in Alexander. But back to endgame serving a purpose. What is it? Getting gear that will be obsolete in the next patch?
