New Jobs Starting Level Discussion

[Synestr]

True it takes maybe an hour or so to get to 15/20 depending on how much you do. With that said though, why not start them at 1? Not to beat a dead horse or bring up "other" sutff, although I am going to. Other MMOs, with expansions have introduced jobs gated behind the expansions. SE specifically has done this in the past. The most well known is XI, Treasures of Aht Urhgan and Wings of the Goddess both had jobs that were gated behind that expansion in that the bestowing NPC's were located in the expansion areas. To get there you traveled through level 40ish areas (IIRC). Once unlocked they followed the start from 1 path.

Now this is not that game nor the same development team, I know. It is though a model they feel is successful.

IMO; DRK, MCH and AST all stem from the new expansion area. They are jobs that are "only" found in Ishgard / Dravanian areas. Please if anyone has any links to provide better insight, that would be greatly helpful.

I do not need to link proof they will be placed outside the expansion zones, common sense and logic dictate they will because if they were only in the expansion zones then SE would of said you need to complete the level 50+ MSQ to unlock the new jobs and they did not say that, they said only requires a level 30 character. I would instead ask you/others to prove they are locked away in the new expansion zones because if they were to do so then that would defy logic, until such proof is supplied then rely on common sense regarding the difference between the two requirements and how they never said you need to complete that MSQ to unlock the new jobs. I am not having a go at you, I am just saying the burden of proof is not on me and that the two different requirements listed is proof enough for my case put forth...yet you should prove what I bolded because there is no evidence that the job are 'only' located in those places at all.
