Not stolen, projected

[Reiryuu]

I've always thought the cross role system was dubious from the get go. More so now that I see how the implemented it. There seems to be no rhyme or reason.

1) You "earn" your first role ability at level 8, but your first slot isn't earned until 12. Say what?
2) We can get to level 70 now. Why is there no extra slot at 56 and another at 64?
3) Why are there no new "role" abilities after level 50? Our characters grow, why doesn't this system grow with us? There are certainly some spells the devs can add that don't take away from our jobs that could help all of us, right? And yeah, yeah, button bloat this button bloat that, you could at least have something like protect II in there or something and let Protect upgrade and downgrade like our damaging spells if you're that concerned about it, but still. I think it's stupid and don't really find button bloat an excuse for not giving us more tools/upgraded tools.
