Just because it's not a new phenomena doesn't mean we exacerbate the issue by allowing players to gain experience on a job they're not playing. Actual experience playing a job isn't measured by experience points or even job levels. It is measured by the content you complete playing that job.

As an example, we had a RDM in Orbonne the other night that was still on his feet with a full HP and MP gauge, the rest of us were KO'd, and we had a full LB3 gauge ready to go. Everyone was telling him to raise one of the healers so they can LB. Instead he swam around the arena for a good couple of minutes until he finally died. The last thing anyone wants is this RDM giving exp to his BLM or SMN when he still has a long way to go actually learning how to play RDM in raids with that job.
