New Jobs Gated Behind Completion of 2.0 Story?

[Gralna]

I am happy the new jobs start at 30 though because leveling this game outside of leveling with the storyline is amongst the worst leveling experiences I've ever had in an MMORPG. Doubly so for 5-30 ish.

Guessing then that you've never played EQ, AC, DAoC, FFXI, or even worse, any of the many Korean MMO's that require pure grinding to get anything accomplished.

The first few MMO's I listed all required you to lvl up primarly through just sitting at a camp of mobs, and killing them as they respawned, you'd be lucky to get 10% of the xp you needed to lvl up from doing all the quests at your level available to you. They also took a LONG time to lvl up, with most people taking 8-12 months to reach max lvl for the first time.

Edit: Lvling in this game is so trivial it's hardly worth mentioning it as an accomplishment.
