    {suggestion} from a new player ; Road to 60

    Yesterday the road to 60 was gone from Omega server. It came as a surprise to me as a new player. Just like the million Gil and 15 days bonus earlier. As a new player you donot have all the information about things and cannot read everything either.
    So in my mind this road to 60 was a nice "catch" up tool for new players.
    With that in mind i played the game, having fun. Not thinking about getting a job asap to lvl 60 or bother choosing a main. I havenot reached Heavensward and started playing in august. My suggestion to SE is; Let new players have a xp boost like the road to 60. Until level 60. So they can catch up so to speak. I am not pleading for all jobs, but at least for one War job of choosing and maybe also for Jobof Hand/Land.
    It will make new players feel not left behind in an already overwhelming and lot to do game environment.

    Even without a buff, you are likely to overlevel your main scenario quest at times. So in a way it might even do more harm than good. And, on the other hand, whenever you level the jobs that aren't your highest one, you gain an exp buff for them automatically. Not to even mention the skip potions already available. So I don't see why this would be needed.

    I think the same argument that lead to the introduction of a job jump potion equally justifies a permanent "Road to X" type of buff for newly created characters on all servers, to be removed when the first job reaches level X or when two jobs reach level X-10, or when four jobs reach level X-20, etc.

    The only rationale against such a catch-up mechanism would be that it would cannibalize on the sale of jump potions. To that, I suppose the only argument is that anyone who are willing to spend the money to buy a jump potion would probably still spend it on some other job later on. The rest who would like to save the money wouldn't buy it anyway with or without the buff.

    For me, the Road to 60 has been the one single reason I am finally experiencing MNK/BRD/MCH/AST/NIN at level 50. I've had several alts and I could never get past level 30-35 on these jobs. This is also something that could apply to players new to the game.
