Reducing my level

In the realm of silly requests, this takes the cake for today.

Thanks for all the reply! I know what is possible or not possible now.

One more question - if I start a new character, and choose GLA as the starting job, buy a potion to level DRK to 60 and another potion to complete quest up to start of SB, will my character screen show me as a level 1 GLA? I am quite pedantic about this sort of thing. I want this char to be a career DRK.

Yes I believe it will show GLA as level 1 as you can't choose DRK as a starter job when creating your character.

For reasons different from OP, I'd enjoy something to prevent experience gains, if only so I could stall at 60 to experience some of the end-HW content without over-leveling pre-SB.

Every notable fight/dungeon level caps you anyway. You are literally not allowed to overlevel it.

They mean halt all experience gain until reaching expansion areas, i.e., remaining level 60 through the remainder of 3.0 and 3.x content, and only starting to level again once they transition into 4.0 content. Almost as if they don’t have the expansion registered to the account, so the game halts all leveling progress until it is.

Why would you want to halt exp gain though? It doesn't hurt you to have extra and in fact most people suggest you to buy SB once you hit 60 so that you can start accumulating exp. I started a new character and purchased the ARR story skip (but not HW) and the insta-60 skip. Even though literally all exp from HW went to post 60 leveling, I still wasn't to 70 until almost the end of SB and it prevents you from having to do side quests just to keep the main story going.

oh well, guess i will level a gladiator then. Can I level a gladiator to level 70? Or classes can level up to level 50?

You can get classes all the way to level cap.
After reaching level 30 as Gladiator you will want to pick up the Paladin job. Your Paladin and Gladiator level will always be equal to each other.

If you really, really want your character sheet to show only a single class or job, then you are out of luck:
All classes will want to pick up their corresponding job after reaching level 30. Doing otherwise will severly cripple your character.
The jobs that do not have a base class require that you got some other class/job up to level 50 first.

I know what they mean. I'm saying that it's pointless to worry about being "overleveled" in this game because this game level caps you for pretty much every solo duty and dungeon. Even if you wanted to do FATEs or something, you get capped for those too.

No one cares about your search info and those that do will respect you more for having at least some experience on those jobs rather than seeing a blank space and thinking "He's never played this he doesn't know what he's talking about". Leveling down is silly.

If you read the post you could clearly see that this has nothing to do with how others see his/her profile.
