Low level Combat gameplay and Job identity is HORRIBLE.

Before going to wild extremes like allowing every ability unlocked even at low level and whatnot (not realistic at all as explained by others above), I'd like them to just re evaluate the whole leveling progression of all jobs so that at lvl15 they all have a basic combo and AoE, and by lvl50 they get the core of their job mechanics. Above would just be about what gets added on the top. They did this when reworking MNK in EW with the reintroduction of chakra based lower level variants like Howling Fists and Steel Peek for example.

And then there is the nonsensical "you unlock Blizzard 4 here, but Fire 4 only 2 levels later" -> "what do I do with Blizz4 in that dungeon where I'm synced before F4 unlocks?"

It needs a serious cleanup.

I for one is curious, what was the reasoning you have against having abilities learned usable in low level dungeon (especially ARR dungeon)?

As said above, too much potency, stuff is already melting hard enough as it is in sub shb dungeons. Alternatively I'd like them to rebuff a little the HP of all mobs in there, but that's still gonna introduce insane discrepancies between sprouts and veterans. They are already here due to gear differences and personally as a new player I'd feel horrible for not contributing at all and watching the vet(s) just clean everything up for me.

Imagine rebuffing mobs HP and having a party full of sprouts. They'd literally need 5 minutes per pack while full vets would clean it under 30s.

This whole argument falls appart when you notice many of the older and newer MMOs allready implemented a Scaling system so you can keep most of your abilities While doing "dungeonfinders" what your describing is not an issue.
