But if they're going to do that, what's the point in even given us a choice at all? True most people will put their stats in the same thing for each job, but at least right now we have a choice. What you're suggesting removes it completely and they might as well just add the stat points as we level up instead.

Maybe SE thought that because Arcanist gives you both a healer AND a DPS that it needs a slight drawback (no other class allows you to level up two different jobs at once) and that drawback being you have to share the bonus attribute points.
