Capped [Class] =/= Capped [Job]

its stupid that we have to go back and do these new "quests" for our already completed classes.

trust square enix to punch thier loyal players in the face with brass knuckles

You're trolling me on purpose because of that whole "makes me want to beat you until it causes hydrogen fusion" comment, aren't you.

Classes are weapon proficiency.
In FFXI, you could skill up your polearm so your SAM would be invited to bird parties. You weren't required to be a Dragoon. In FFXIV, you will be able to master the abilities of the Axe so you can use abilities of axe proficiency, such as Bloodletter II+, on Pugilist. That doesn't mean you have to be a Warrior.

Therefore, jobs are the true form of classes and require dedication.
Dedication is often shown through work such as grinding, or when we've already done grinding and are f**king sick of it, a series of quests featuring lore about your favorite jobs, how they fit into the world, and the bonuses that come with mastering them.

Here's a better metaphor for what you're trying to say

Any man can learn karate, but it takes time, loyalty and dedication to become a black belt in karate.

So in FFXIV version it would be:

Any marauder can swing an axe, but it takes time, quests and dedication to become a warrior of the axe.

That's good, too! Thanks for that. Hold on, let me try:

Any man can play the bow. It has only one string. Only through dedication, time, and trials can one learn to play many strings like the barcher...

(Sorry, lol. I'm not going to go out and say I believe wholeheartedly that it's a bowharp, but I love when a maybe gets responded to with "DEFINITELY NO!" on subjection.)

I just had an ingenious thought about that!

What if the bow actually straightens instead of folds up, then the archer turns it the other way around, then they become a Guitarcher!
