Yes, but for those jobs (COR, PUP, and DNC) you were able to use oils/powders (or just change to /WHM) to avoid all of the mobs in the areas you had to go. This allowed level 30s to go to those zones and basically sneak to points to get the jobs, which almost everyone did. Here, we don't have those mechanics. I never played WoW, though - but that sounds like it must've upset a few people.

I think the point I'm making is, if they gate NIN behind 2.3, then new players who want to play this job, or even currently people new to 50, cannot get it unless they beat ifrit HM, garuda HM, titan HM, King mog, and Levi HM. There is no precedent for releasing a job with that kind of requirement. It's like them releasing Dancer in FFXI but saying you had to have access to Sky to get it...
