Being both good AND bad at the game?

[owopeachy]

The content you are talking is so far back you had cross-class skills when it originally came out, all of the above is irrelevant content and is not a good place to get a scope of your skill as a player.
The content has been nerfed and jobs have been adjusted over the expansions and that does not get unerfed/unchanged regardless of if you do minimum ilevel and no echo the experience you will get now versus the experience people who originally did it when it came out will be vastly different.

This is why, one dream of mine which i know will very likely never be seen is a version of minimum item level that not only syncs your level and item level down but also resets your job to the job with skills and traits it was on the day that content was released. I have an acute FOMO of xiv 2.0 and onwards, seeing as i started in patch 5.2.. I never even got to experience TP!
