Job Auto-leveling: Yes or No?

[ellohwell]

Your stance contradicts itself. You are saying that XI's issue was having to level multiple classes (sub jobs). Well first of all sub jobs were only half of your main level, and getting to 37 was a lot easier than getting to 75.

As a 50 GLA I need MRD to at least 48 for Defender II, CNJ 40+ for Cure III, etc, etc, you get the point. XIV is worse than XI in the respect some classes require you to level multiple classes to their max level in order to just play your main class properly. Even with jobs having their own EXP bar, I'd rather level GLA to 50 and then PLD to 50 than level GLA to 50 and then every other class to 50. Granted, having it auto-to 50 would make this process faster but that is the whole point of this thread which you have failed to address.

I know right. It's bad enough already.

And I mean, you will be "levelling" Paladin in FFXIV anyway. But you'll just be doing it through quests.

Do people seriously think it is better game design to make people grind through boring crap just to play the game? People have said themselves they thought this was an issue with FFXIV. Now they want to exacerbate the issue by having to level the job alongside other classes?

Quests are a much more interesting form of progression, surely. And I think grinding the base class will be enough to satisfy the crowd that want a "sense of accomplishment" or whatever B.S. reason.
