Why wouldn't you request this? You leveled a job for a specified role. That role was completely removed.

What I'm going to do is level my Marauder to 50.
I guess you and I value time differently.

If I don't have any other option, then sure, I guess I'll level CNJ. But I'd prefer to have the time I've invested in leveling up a healing job preserved. So that's the request I'm making.

I mean, seriously. If they transfered your levels from THM to CNJ, what are you going to do? Level the same job to 50 again in the future?
Um, no. In the new paradigm, why would any healer level THM? It would be a waste of time.

Again, that's the point. The 50 levels of THM I've already invested won't even help me as a healer if I do level up CNJ.

Because healing classes have NEVER had elemental damage spells in any prior FF before, right?
The point is, there was no way to know which direction SE would go with a class that has both Cure and Flare. Acting as if it was obvious that CNJ could never be BLM is silly.
