Multiple Classes is a lie

Your problem is you don't WANT to do it again for another job. It's also stated that you can level multiple jobs, not that you can level multiple jobs AT THE SAME TIME. Gearing up another job will take about equally long as it took for you to gear up your first job. You just can't do it at the same time. In the end in weeks, months or years from now, you can indeed have multiple jobs on the same character, all well geared.

It shouldn't take as long to gear up a second or third job as the first. When you gear up your first job you get gear from WP / AK that you can use on your other jobs and if you continue to cap myth stones every week you should have phil. stones to spend on the second job you have leveled.

Depending on your FCs luck with drops in CoB you might get lucky getting a piece of Ilvl90 for an "alt job". In my FC we've gotten lots of DRG drops and only have one in the raid so we've been handing ilvl90 gear out to players with high level DRGs.

Or you can do like many of us are doing and take your damn time. SE has always done "Release the content with temporarily time locks" in FFXI and most of us knew the same would happen in XIV. After a while it'll probably take maybe a week to get full Tome Gear for one class. But right now while it's new they have time locks to keep you from blowing through the content way too fast.

Yeah, you're right.

In other MMOs there isn't even as much a gear grind on one character, but trying to gear multiple is quite literally impossible due to the fact that when you are fully geared in Myth gear, a new set of Myth gear will be released which will most likely use Myth tomes again as a lot of MMOs do.

This is one of my major gripes with the game. They give you the illusion of being able to play multiple classes, but you really can't.

We have almost a year before 2.2 or 2.3 comes out which is even guessing that SE will be adding Myth gear in addition to turn 6+ Coil gear since they never stated if AF2 is direct drop or a token gear set.

Every 3 months= Patch roughly 7 months till 2.3

You can. You just can't get the best gear for all of them in a week.

Or a year for that matter, but apparently a year is too fast.

You make it sound like this gear is going to be the only thing worth working toward in a year.

For some people it is.
