I like the system. It's nice that I can just drop out of the zone and then go back in and I haven't lost anything. I dislike consumables, though they are a reason to play when they're earned in the zone. But I don't like all the phantom jobs, some of them are clearly just dumping grounds for utility needed in Forked Tower, and completely useless otherwise.

Like Thief. Thief is a completely useless job. It adds nothing to the zone outside the Tower. You can steal gold! But it's the least efficient gold farming method. No one would use Bard or Time Mage over any alternative. Ranger's damage buff is the only button anyone would press outside of the Tower, and that's sad.
