It's not a bad thing really. Different games are for different targets. This one, quite obviously, is not for you, since you hate it's whole premise.
It's not basic, don't be ignorant. In XI you only need to take warrior to 37, or mage job to 37. Now it's 45 but remember XI is old and has been doing it's thing for quite sometime. And that's it you don't ever need to touch that job again.
In XIV you need to level more then 2 class, say each 25 Lv x3 is a level 75. Then you can finally go back to your main and add more levels to 75 mix. You need to view their points aswell not just what you think is basic foundation.
