No one is saying level everything to cap. From what I've seen, *most* of the skills people are being asked to use are within the first 30 lvls of a class. This is very much akin to subjobs. By the time I stopped playing XI (second Abyssea pack), almost everyone was expected to have at least 4 different subs for any given class. The only real difference between XI and XIV is that in this you're not limited to skills of optimal rank equaling less than half your current class.
