Woosh, you guys. The RDM and SAM's are in the game regardless if you have the expansion or not. You can not start as them, though you can party with them, that's the point I was making. The way the game is engineered there is no way to add a job to the game that is exclusive to an expansion pack because it would prevent players without the expansion packs from even seeing them. They can put whatever prerequisite they want, but aligning it with the level cap certainly makes it so that you can't just switch to them without playing the storyline of the previous content, or skipping it with the jump pots.

The result is going to be people who have NOT played a tank, EVER, jumping into the new tank job at level 60. That is not an issue with RDM and SAM because those were DPS jobs, and DPS jobs can be carried. A Tank can not be carried in 4-player content, so there will be a lot of "git gud or git out" frustration until people learn it, and I entirely expect people to complain with impunity that it's too hard because it won't work like a DPS.
