It also means we as veterans will be funneled back into this moldy content via roulettes and relic chains forever because the devs can't risk new players getting blocked by a queue stonewall. It's lose-lose for everyone, really. I've wanted them to uncouple story requirements from all leveling content at least for a while now. Roulettes that give some exp for alt jobs aren't bad but when every relic chain involves boosting some newbies through their dungeon queues or CT raids or whatever repeatedly it gets tiring.
