Not sure what they can do really for people that are joining late and are level 1...unless they leave the cap at 20(which likely isn't happening...I haven't read/watched the live letter stuff so don't know if it was included in there).
Your better of as a duo until lvl 10 and then Fate train. More XP that way than parties of 3+. With new nerf on xp it has become a joke. At 10 Fate trains work best and now res and healing for players under 17 are still in high demand. Many players are ignorant and want to come other jobs do to lacking healing or rdm, which is fine...however over all people don't understand that by being lower level in higher tier NM fates their more of a hindrance than a benefit. Example lvl 9 in Pazuzu -.- yeah your better of dead than having MP wasted on you if your DPS. Healers will be prioritized and welcome even if lower levels. Recommended lvl 19-20 otherwise. Tanks lvl 20 would be preferred.
