@ mysterytaru: I played and loved the system in FFXI. Cross-classing is not the issue. It's the obscene amount of cross-classing players are concerned with. I think everyone could live with a subjob or two. But leveling all classes to cap seems absurd (which is currently the stress).

To each their own, but I think the blanket statements say "it's a part of the game, deal with it" are uncalled for and potentially untrue. So much in this game is changing, nobody can be sure until information about this is released (I think patch 1.20?). Imagine people had the same mindset towards anima teleportation, the armoury system, the leve system, etc. They were part of the game, but we didn't have to deal with it. This is left to be seen regarding cross-classing.
if someone levels a lot of jobs to 50 he/she SHOULD be better then someone who did not. the more time and work you put in should be rewarded. you have the option of doing it as well but you also have the option of not doing it.
