Low level Combat gameplay and Job identity is HORRIBLE.

[Zordrage]

Well there are other ways to level.
Sometimes that is the reason, but if you've watched enough youtube videos you will see some players are really new and struggle just to press their 2 buttons while dodging red circles and interrupt their simple combo regularly. So the game gives them time to get used to that before giving them more.

So it's not about you. It's about the new players who might be overwhelmed by too much.

Also, the top reason people quit in my opinion is actually the story and how long it is and keeps them reading/watching stuff instead of playing. But that's common in this game even at max level since everything has an unlock quest with lots of text and cutscenes. If they can't handle that then they won't like it at max level either.
It could be made so that you have more of your rotation at 60 instead, since that used to be a level cap in the past with more buttons than they have currently.

Its not just about leveling its also event farming and token farming, random rulette farming is a damn important thing in this game for many different reasons.
Its pretty much the most played part of this game.

Reaching the End of the Base game at lvl50 and your job still missing most of its Core and Fun rotation and combo gameplay is a HORRIBLE experience...
Are we seriously arguing that there are some people that MMOs just not meant for them and should not play them to begin with and we should design the MMO for them ?
Really ?
Im all for making early game easy to get into but level 40-50 is NOT early game its the End of the Base game where you allready gone through a bunch of dungeons and even some raids and where your Job should feel good to play and should have more of its identity abilities and rotations NOT 2 expansions later, and with how long ARR is by that time you hit 50 you SHOULD have the experience how things work on a basic level, except if the player just don't care, you really want to design the game for people like that ?

Im absolutely againts this Mentality Seriously, its outright holding back good gamedesign just because there are people that cant press 3 buttons and avoid red circles at lvl40+ after like 20 to 40 hour gameplay.
