I've met new players at level 35-40 who knew tanks better than some capped at 70. Doesn't matter if you're level 1 or 70, 80 or 100, stupidity is applicable at any and all level,(regardless of job position) whether DPS, Tank, or heals.

The UPSIDE is that the player has MORE access to their tool kit at 60 (pre 70) than 50.
Actually talking about gear reminded me of one other thing that really annoyed me leveling non tank jobs when SB came out. Tanks with extremely outdated gear in duties that the healer just can't keep alive because they regularly take more damage than the healer can actually heal. In SB I saw it most often in Bardam's. They were usually played by people that had a DPS main and didn't like the duty queue time to get through their MSQ. So not only did they not know what over half their skills did they were basically wearing tissue paper for armor.
