Job Auto-leveling: Yes or No?

This again?

Jobs are NOT Classes. Therefore you don't level them.
Jobs are a focus of your class. If you earn EXP on your Job, it's going to go towards your Class.
People need to stop looking at jobs as a separate entity from the class they are using it on.

You guys are missing the point. Jobs are mere specializations within a class. Using a job will simply limit cross classing skills while providing job exclusive skills and gear to the user. IE

Gladiator - Uses all gladiator skills, all non restricted cross class skills, all gladiator gear.
Paladin - Uses all gladiator skills, very few cross class skills, all gladiator gear, all paladin gear, all paladin skills.

Explain to me: why would we have to level Paladin from level 1 all over again? How would that work in regards to Gladiator skills? Should we just forget them and re-learn em for our Paladin? Would we have to buy level 1 gear all over again to level nearly the same job, learn the same skills with a few new abilities along the way?

The answer is simple: NO. Within the proposed system, re-leveling a job makes no sense whatsoever. "Paladin" is not is an entirely new thing completely different from "Gladiator". Paladin is Gladiator with few extra skills. In the end, leveling a job again would be the EXACT same thing as leveling the base class AGAIN, learning an odd unique ability once in a while. Do you want to level a class, then reset it and level it again? Make a new character or go play Disgaea, lol =).

They know this and don't care, they just want something else to grind/level. I am happy with the way it is being done now. Less grinding and more focus on actual content. I would rather learn how to play my job in an actual boss fight than on open world monsters I am burning down super fast in a party - but that's just me...

Guys it doesn't matter what anyone else says... we know how they are going to work they have already told us.

No point to argue or debate who wants it this way or that way. They have decided.
