Question about the change to job requirement

[Yonko]

Exactly, I don't get it either. I don't see the need for the change, and any google search I do brings up people asking the same question. The answers are usually, "I don't know, but its probably due to RMT spammers and BLM's doing WP" or something similar. So I'm asking here, on the official forum, "Why?" Because Reddit (the place others are asking) doesn't know either and I wouldn't trust them anyway.

It was changed because SE decided it needed to be changed. I wouldn't be surprised that it is being changed to prevent RMT from being able to quickly make lvl 50 chars with jobs to spam things.

In the grand scheme of things it shouldn't effect a legitimate player.

It's a place you need to be at anyway as a legit player, that quest is right after you have joined a GC, which gives you retainers and your chocobo.

You can easily hit 50 and spam lower level content without unlocking a job, so I'm not sure why it's a RMT countermeasure.

I believe it is not to prevent RMT's but to make them easier to identify.

And for the OP... you dont understand because you have not played this game long enough to understand... you will start to see sooner or later though.

I believe lots of RMT use BLMs for the AoE abilities which mostly come from the job and not the class.
