Job Auto-leveling: Yes or No?

[Chinchilla]

I agree to parts of the OP. I too think it would be 'too easy' to run through a few quests in a day and bam... i'm a level 50 'insert job here'.

However, there's no telling what their literal plans are for this. Sure you might be a level 50 gladiator, so you want to unlock paladin. Who's to say the cap won't rise and you level Paladin from 50 on? I know they didn't say this anywhere, but as far as how jobs will def work... well they've been pretty vague. I think they only mentioned quests?

Hell, if that's the case you might only need the class @ 30 to switch to the Job, which will then be 30 and you can then level to 50 as the job instead of the class.

Too much guess work atm. I think before we go ranting and raving we should see exactly how it's implemented. While i'm a sucker for class/job quests, I'm on the fence as to how much I like the idea of just 'shazaam you're now a level 50 whateverthecrap'

This is very much like Rift. If you level a scout class as as scout job, then when you're capped you can be any capped scout class job. Out of all the MMO's XI (I know you anti XI peeps are gonna flame) had the best job system. Any game where you can change your class and still be the same character is win. Character development > class/job development. Having your character be yours is awesome, and I applaud SE for having this system.

Can't wait to hear more info planned for jobs!

Hmm i can't find my source among the many interviews; one of it is that; the Jobs and Class are one of the same, the difference is just the priorities and identities of a Job are more define roles in Strategy-like content; eg. Raid, Ifrit of such. Which of course Class too can participate just fine, just not as define roles (More like Jack of all trade! just limited by the AP lol!)

You unlock job @ level 30 Class through Quest, obtaining an item that will make you that said Job once you equip'ed it. Say you're a Gladiator, you've gone through the Paladin Quest, reward is a Paladin Job Stone, equip it and tada! you're a paladin with access to paladin's skill (of course after several quest), and this Paladin LVL will be the same as your Gladiator, and you can level up as a Paladin get EXP for your Gladiator, if you Gladiator is 50, Paladin is 50, your Gladiator is 40, same as your Paladin.
