Okay but this is a Final Fantasy game at the end of the day. It's an RPG. The expansion content, jobs included, are tied directly to the story. Square Enix isn't the type of company that will just hand everyone the previous level cap, because they care about their plot. Sure, WoW is 8 expansions in. Of course they'd just give people the previous level cap or whatever. But this is our first expansion. There's no reason to just hand someone fifty levels and let them bypass the entire story(which this game sort of revolves around tyvm). Then you jump in not knowing how to play your class/job, you don't have any clue about the story(and ff games are always about the story), and you get nothing out of it except instant gratification. Leveling a class/job isn't hard, and with the right people getting to 50 is simple. There's no sense in complaining about it.
