Battle system changes

Yes and how many of those MMOs die or go free to play because they don't make an effort to fix the flaws? We do not play under a system built for cross class abilities, we haven't since 2.0, again SE made all 3.0 abilities solely job abilities. DRK, MCH, and AST don't feature any base job, they were designed for currently players to pick them up and already know what the basics of each job signifies.

Your entire idea is based off brand new players having the knowledge as players since day one, let's take a new player off the boat. They want to play WHM, so they level CNJ to 30 and ACN to 15, and they go about their time and find out they need swift cast, but they find out because someone from 2.0 told them about it, not the game itself. So now that new player learned something that the game doesn't attempt to make known, only because of someone else.

Again I didn't know I needed Blood for Blood at all until I got to 50, I seen MNK using it and figured it must be something that only physical classes get, and me being ranged wouldn't get that since the trade off of the skill is you take more damage as well, and being ranged I'm not in the immediate area of danger, therefore in my mind that particular skill shouldn't have crossed over.

Where did I say they shouldn't? Again you are operating under the assumption I think it should stay how it is, I don't.

But since it IS how it is, we have to deal with it, as the alternative is to what? Quit?. And I don't believe its wrong to think a level 60 'newbie' should be expected to know as much or be expected to learn as much as the first level 50s in 2.0.
