Yes, there exists class specific quest lines for class specific gear and skills. And i happen to like those quests, as they teach me something about my class. The Relic line is the same, in a sense. By making me run the content on that specific class, i am proving i have the skills required to play it.

But why should i be forced to prove that i can play my Monk in AK/WP when I'm farming Garuda HM and learning Titan HM?

Even if i had a full ilvl 90 kit waiting for my Scholar when it hits 50, I'll still need to get through the various requirements of my Relic quest on that class. The gear i use to do it is irrelevant. The class requisite is to prove you know how to play that class and deserve the Relic, Gear has nothing to do with it.

The time drawbacks for the majority of players to have job specific caps is astronomical compared to the drawbacks of the current system. I have friends who like to play multiple classes, but often don't have the time to play more than a few hours on the weekend. So under your system, they'd never be able to cap tomes on 2 Jobs, because they don't have the 10 hours a day to cap it both, and imagine if they liked one job of each Role? suddenly, it becomes incredibly difficult to get the things you need due to lack of time in the day to get it done.

As my main class is a Monk, the wait times for dungeons make Tome farming very slow to do on my own. When I'm with friends, its instant queue no matter what class i play.
When I'm alone, i Tank it, and still get the Tomes i need to get gear for the jobs that cant get into dungeons as fast. Under your plan, i'd be forced to wait in the DD queue when i *could* be tanking it for 3 people who only have the 1 non Tank job at 50, and still gearing up the Job that needs the Tomes while picking up off drops no one else needs.
