Game needs to be more newcomer friendly, but NOT with level-boosts

[Ersilon]

So, what you're saying is that newcomers who bought the game aren't interested in playing the game? Frankly, I think you're projecting onto strawmen because I have yet to ever meet any newbie who has ever mentioned such an argument. You keep going on this fantasy kick as some sort of justification to get what you want, and you're never explaining what you're trying to say. Or it makes no sense other than "the feelz, man" which is not an argument grounded in logic. As someone else mentioned, SE isn't going to make any more classes, which seems to be what you're asking for for this. What you're wanting is a lot of work, design, balance, and rebalance for something that only a very few will even appreciate.

Yes, I get what you're trying to say. When I started playing, I wanted to be a Black Mage. That's what I wanted to do. You wanted to be a Dark Knight from the get-go. Well, you can't. That's not how the story is. They're not going to change it because you say "pretty please" because your "fantasy" ultimately means less to them than the time investment required to create this pre-job class that they would indeed have to gut things for. The 30-50 level quests for DRK? They're still locked behind the story. Unlock one, and now they have to unlock AST and MCH, which is now triple the time and effort. That's time and effort spent for a bare handful of new players who might or might not even appreciate the effort. That's time and effort that SE, as a company that makes and sells games, is going to decide that it'll be better for them as a business to roll out new jobs that will please more players than just a niche group.
