    71+ you have the trust system as an option to "solo lvl".

    Yes, I am aware, and the Trust system is great. But I am talking about 60-70 where there is nothing. Except spamming the Vault with my squadron over and over. This is how I got my DRK to level 71, and it wasn't great (though still infinitely preferable to facing the boss that is DF Extreme)

    I replied before your edit. 60-70 can be achieved with beast tribes a bit slowly but its 6 allowances a day, plus there's also FATEs. I don't disagree that something like Trusts in 60-70 would likely work great. But I am throwing options on the table to assuage the issue as it stands

    Beast tribes are great, I do those too as well as FATEs and my challenge log. But those options aren't so optimal for learning the job and how it plays.

    There is a thread but a few entries down where posters are complaining about tanks who get into Holminster and don't know how to play.
    These posters may not berate the tank in their party at the time, but the tank knows that posts like this appear daily on the forums and so any slight error will be very stressful and uncomfortable for them. I've a friend who has all tanks at 80 - he is an amazing tank - but like me he'll only run dungeons with friends now. Mainly because of threads like the one I've mentioned. My friend has enough RL stress, he doesn't need it in game too.

    Dungeons are more demanding solo-play and therefore benefit the community too as a learning tool

    I mean, I get where you come from and all but then why ask for a more optimal experience when the venues which are available are really optimal. The internet has always had sections like the ones you mentioned, and being "stressed" over what someone in an online forum will say about you really speaks more about you than them. Just like their opinions about you speak more about them than you.

    But the venues aren't optimal. If they were, I wouldn't be asking for a couple of alternatives. I don't want to inflict my PLD on a party but I would like to learn to play my PLD as well as I can. This is a couple of level appropriate dungeons from 60-70 that I can do with my Squadron so that I don't have to spam the Vault. Beast tribes etc are not optimal for learning a job, I don't think anyone would disagree with that.

    I'm not being rude or demanding anything, I'm asking politely if SE would please consider this. I know there are a number of people who would also like this just from reading the forums regularly
