CAN. Not all are. Some prefer to keep their combat role retainers as base classes rather than jobs.

And as someone else said, squadrons cap at 60 now. And probably, some point in 5.0, 70.

There is no benefit to doing so other than pure laziness as some gear/glamour is already job exclusive and my research on squadrons is they don't equip the gear it is already for pure glamour.

Other than equipping a few pieces of glamour gear, there’s no benefit to making a combat retainer a job rather than a base class. Combat retainers results are purely based upon their ilevel. It is easy enough to reach the ilevel for the highest rewards using class-gear, no need to delve into job-only gear at all. So while they CAN have a job stone, there’s no real need for it, other than the convenience of ensuring that job-only hand-me-downs are usable by the retainer.

So what you have here is an issue of convenience vs convenience. Something tells me it will be most convenient for SE to do nothing.

Benefit is saving a handful of ventures for something that doesn't offer much benefit itself. Why force retainer into job (and force me to pay up for it) if I don't need it?
