supposedly you will unlock skills via quests, but it seems like you more want a reason to level your favored class, i think that would be better off with level cap increases.

If the level cap increase was right away, sure, otherwise no it wont make a difference. The reason is simple: Time. People got from 1-50 and then instantly quit cuse they realised the game sucked, that would drag along at least a month or 2 and buy SE time, now rank 50 is handed to you on a plate, no time at all. You can mess around with the new class, do everything it has to offer in a few days and bam your burnt out and nothing left. SE cant even tie their own shoelace in a few days so it doesnt buy them enough time to keep people interested.

Most people will have already levelled up their favourites or very close, some will "wait". some will just do it knowing what will come, for example GLD > PLD is pretty much confirmed so anyone wanting to be PLD will either 1. Have their GLD at 50 or be working on it now. Then come release day of this system they can do an hours quest, mess around on PLD and they back to square one of having nothing to do because there is still NO CONTENT.

And the Levelcap wont happen right away because it requires a lot such as new skills and armours and quests and other things.

Personally: I dont mind this way because I dont see the point in levelling systems other than what I explained above, a way to pass Time. I am thinking what is more beneficial to the game right now and handing people new classes right away so they can burn them out in a few days imo is not a good idea. I could be wrong but from previous discussions of Levelling curves being "too easy" and now being removed all together for new classes, I think its safe to assume this wont go down nice.

Also I run a site that is built on xiv's level progression, and they ruining it for me! no fair =(
