How PL'ing killed FFXIV.

To say skipping the monotonous grind causes you to miss out on learning your class is also ignorant. The classes we have aren't even all that complex.

Sorry, but if you plan on using a raid or boss to learn your job, I don't want you in my group. It's ignorant to say you don't need to learn as you level. The jobs may not be all that complex, but proper use of what your job is capable of is.

You learn the fights. There is not much in the way of learning your class. Its pretty simple. Aggro bar red? Stop DPSing. Low MP? Stop casting and stand still. Tank is taking damage? Cast a heal, watch aggro meter still. Its pretty universal across all classes, the rest is as I said, learning the fight mechanics.

Because everyone learned how to dodge Ifrit's moves or to speed run Dzemael by killing raptors for days, right

I do think that regular leveling up is important to learn the basics, but it's nowhere near the real deal. And yes, in most new content we do have to learn everything besides those basics (almost) anyone learned when he was level 30 on his first class.
