Job Auto-leveling: Yes or No?

[ellohwell]

Your stance contradicts itself. You are saying that XI's issue was having to level multiple classes (sub jobs). Well first of all sub jobs were only half of your main level, and getting to 37 was a lot easier than getting to 75.

As a 50 GLA I need MRD to at least 48 for Defender II, CNJ 40+ for Cure III, etc, etc, you get the point. XIV is worse than XI in the respect some classes require you to level multiple classes to their max level in order to just play your main class properly. Even with jobs having their own EXP bar, I'd rather level GLA to 50 and then PLD to 50 than level GLA to 50 and then every other class to 50. Granted, having it auto-to 50 would make this process faster but that is the whole point of this thread which you have failed to address.

I know right. It's bad enough already.

And I mean, you will be "levelling" Paladin in FFXIV anyway. But you'll just be doing it through quests.

Do people seriously think it is better game design to make people grind through boring crap just to play the game? People have said themselves they thought this was an issue with FFXIV. Now they want to exacerbate the issue by having to level the job alongside other classes?

Quests are a much more interesting form of progression, surely. And I think grinding the base class will be enough to satisfy the crowd that want a "sense of accomplishment" or whatever B.S. reason.

Okay, I'll try make sense for someone like you. Since you clearly can't read, Tibian's issue with XI was leveling classes he did not like. As a Gladiator if I like tanking would I rather A) Level every other class in the game, most of which I have no interest in otherwise I'd have main'd those instead. or B) Spend that time (likely less since a second EXP curve, even if higher than the initial, is going to be less exp than 1.7mil x 6) advancing my ability to tank to a higher level by capping out Paladin? I would much rather chose option B.

Now of course under the current system I could take my time with gladiator on it's initial trip to 50 making sure I learn how to use every ability to its maximum effectiveness and get lv50 PLD as a reward at the end. But then someone like you could get power leveled to 50 PLD in a day and fail at tanking.

Basically you want to introduce another problem into the game. That's all I hear, sorry.

Two wrongs dont make a right.

I prefer the jobs to be leveled on their own as well, similar to the system in FFXI. I was disappointed to hear that the jobs would be linked to your classes levels, as I was looking forward to party play as a Paladin, Black Mage, and Monk. As it currently stands, I won't have any reason to exp on those jobs except to build spirit bond equipment.
