Job Auto-leveling: Yes or No?

[Preypacer]

Jobs should not have their own EXP bar. Why? Because you're already required to level up multiple classes to be functional in any good group/party/raid/dungeon scenario. I don't want to spend my entire life on XIV, pointlessly grinding hours of monotony into my brain via guildleves or simple grinding.

One of XI's major problems was leveling up everything. First you got to 18 on a class you didn't want to play, then you got to 30 on another class you didn't want to play. Then you unlocked the job you finally wanted to play, but since you don't have a subjob to support that you have to go back and level up another subjob (probably Ninja, which is itself another topic...), and by the time you get back to level 30 you've already done the same content over and over and over and over and over.

Repetitious and monotonous grinds have no place in XIV. Stop trying to make this game XI-2.

Keep jobs the way they are currently planned, tied to the class exp.

Great gross generalizations, Batman.

"One of its major problems"? FFXI's job system has widely been considered one of its greatest features. The versatility, flexibility and ability to change up your playstyle on the same character was almost unheard of when FFXI launched. Even now, it's not something you often see taken to the degree FFXI took it.

That you personally didn't enjoy the starting jobs or other jobs in the game was your own issue... There are plenty of people who loved playing RDM, WHM, BLM, THF, MNK or WAR and took them all the way to 75.

That you didn't enjoy those starting jobs is fine.. that's your personal experience and preference. But don't make the mistake of thinking your own preferences/likes/dislikes were everyone else's as well.
