As many people have said in other threads, those jobs are directly tied to the story. It would not make sense plot wise for you to be a mch or drk in 2.0 because they are tied to Ishgard and its locked.

SE didn't force you to plow through the MSQ, you decided you had to be where your friends were right this second.
Maybe your friends should have helped you through the main story instead of making you feel rushed just so you can spam Alex and Ravana like the rest of us.

And sorry there are fetch quests in every mmorpg, so might as well get use to it. Cause there's a ton of them in Heavensward as well.
Also don't see why people bitch about it, it levels you up. Or would you rather FATE grind in N. Thanalan forever?
