I personally prefer the way it is set up now. Like Tibian, I too felt the pure disdain as life was sucked from my body as I leveled up one job, only to go back to the exact same places and do it again, and then a third time in Final Fantasy 11. [then to find out my class preferences weren't liked for groups]

There are enough ways to progress through experience only in this game, and go through the exact same content repeatedly.

While we don't know enough about the job system at this time, I do believe it could be a possibility that elements from the class we are leveling is preserved within the job system. What kind of a white mage doesn't use cure? The need to learn how to play as a job surely doesn't require 4 months worth of time [Yoshi P's recommended time, which I think is too long] to cover.

We need fresh ways to experience our character development, and simply grinding through content will not cut it for me. Give me adventure and story instead.

I am concerned as to how this place will look when subscription fees are implemented, and I hope Yoshi considers the majority of us that won't have access to this forum, but do have interest in this game.
