I wish it would start at 30 too, but it really isn't that big of a deal that it starts at 50. It gives both speedy and grindy players what they want. The speedy players can quickly take their rdms into Stormblood, or the remainder of HW if they are still wrapping things up. The grindy players can easily and instantly take their rdms into low level content to train.

The only thing I frown on is no 30-50 job quests for rdm, which is one of the things I was looking forward to. The argument can be made that there will still be ample room to give rdm a story from 50-70, but all the other jobs have those too. But the fact that I am an even-steven doesn't change how mind-numbing it would be for a lot of players to have to take rdm right back into ARR. I agree that they shouldn't be forced to do it, but I do hope to find a lot of like-minded rdms joining me in the early dungeons.
