what adam means is that with your setup, people would be limited if they dont have certain roles leveled up. case in point; say i wanted to gear up my healer, but i dont have it lvl 60. under the current system, i can get gear for something i dont have max lvl while still lvling it up, so long as i have any other job at 60. in yours, i am SOL unless i have the job at 60, and then there are the time constraints with getting tomes for the roles i would/do have at 60. people would burn out faster.

EDIT; also, remember, while ninja is a melee job, its gear is dex, so it would be possible to abuse your system for the accesories by having brd/mch at 60 and nin. use the melee tomes for left side, and the range tomes for right.
