I came back to this game and started a new character because I wanted to start fresh. I had forgotten how dull the game is on a low level character. I'm tired of this notion that new players are complete idiots and need to be spoonfed like a infant child. A lot of MMOs have incredibly dull classes at low levels, but FFXIV is one of the worst in that regard.

Take Lancer, for example. From level 8 until level 26, your optimum DPS is spamming Impulse Drive over and over and over and over and over and over.

Melee DPS seem to suffer the most from this. Heck, even at 26 Lancer doesn't get that much better. You're just spamming a different extremely boring combo over and over and over.

It's not until levels 40-50 that jobs even start to feel remotely interesting. This makes leveling an alternate class/job or getting level synced a chore.

I'd like to see class complexity accelerated a bit.
