It's a complicated thought process.
When they rise level cap, new abilities will be add, be patient. See what SE has to offer.
Class and abilities are the foundation of the game, it'll effect game play and battle design in every way, not mentioning story lines.
Cross-class skills are fine as is, it's an option not a requirement when setting up character.
I see OP's point, but if you are a oldschool FF fan (meaning from FFI, and class change wasn't implanted until FFV), you'll understand where these class system coming form. Classes/jobs are also tides to their own storylines, reasons. (Tutorial? w)
And one character with multiple jobs is also what makes FF, like chocobo, and all other elements that makes what FF is.

As of today, we still don't have full scope of FFXIV, not all zones are open yet, and highest ilvl you can set in party finder is 200. (why not 999 if it's just coding?)
There are hints all over the game itself. Until they finish patching ALL the original content (before first expension), we can only be patient.
Yes, they do still need to fix bugs or what not. lol
The problem with wait & see is that it has been shown time and time again to NOT retain subscribers. People want to know changes are coming and EXACT times they are. "Look forward to ______." can only keep a person's hopes up for so long.
