yeah that's why FFXI won multiple awards and has been the most successful & profitable entry in the series' history. XI was far from perfect, but it sounds like you were just bad at the game. XI still has a better job system than this game (among other attributes that are better) despite the fact that XIV fixed a lot of what was wrong with XI (crafting, gathering, skilling up and gear swapping to name a few gripes).
