He will show off his level 30 gear on his level 30 job, much like the 50-60 AF gear or the RSE or JSE gear in FFXI. You showed it off and used it as an accomplishment for that specific level range. Once you got higher or better gear, like relic, you used that as you're new show of accomplishment.

You are not being forced into anything because the dungeon is optional. If you choose to do the optional dungeon then you must abide by the rules for that battle. Much like certain bosses are resistant to certain spells...nobody ever considers that as "forced" into playing a specific style, it just is part of that one segment.
Likewise, no one is making any of you run through the dungeon as a r50. So how is your argument any better than mine?
