Job Level 1?

How was Rouge any different from any other class? You start Rouge at lv1 and unlock Ninja at 30 like any other starting class.

That was my point, the game just didn't give you insta-30 upon unlocking it.

Would you rather spam the same dungeons with boring mechanics and next to no abilities, or spam new stuff with fresh areas and all your abilities? It's a no brainer.

I'd rather know what I'm doing in the harder dungeons.

I would absolutely love the option to start new jobs at level 1 instead of 30 or proposed 50. I need time to slowly learn the play style and abilities. Throwing all the available abilities at you at once is overwhelming. Especially since the jobs quests are all lore based and make no effort to try to teach the player anything, save for some of the ninja quests. For those who rather jump start off 30 or 50 that's fine, but as I said for us slower folks who enjoy the leveling process please allow us the chance to play from scratch.

Endgame content actually serves a purpose. That's the difference. MMO's are (in general) about the endgame grind, working your way to harder content, and getting better gear once you're level capped. The leveling content is basically just filler to keep you occupied until you get there, with the added benefit of having story.

Endgame is all still just gear grinding. You're doing the same places over and over again and (with some people) complaining about not going through them fast enough because of noobs. I don't know, I'm in that group that actually likes leveling. I leveled most of the jobs in FFXI and didn't do much endgame. Same on 14. I still have to do Sohr Khai and never stepped in Alexander. But back to endgame serving a purpose. What is it? Getting gear that will be obsolete in the next patch?
