it would be nice if leveling was less exploitable

Haven't spent a lot of time with BLU, but, isn't leveling kinda almost secondary to the job? You can either grind it out (or exploit it) and still have to go back to get your skills, or just level naturally while collecting the skills you can. Either way, it's still going to take a bit of time.

up to level 50 you can get most skills (outside of dungeons and dalvag) in less than a minute or 2.
If they made the skill drops rarer then sure. But you usually get them within first 3 kills.

and then for all the dungeon/primal fights, everyone just wants to get carried (e.g. not many blu-only parties going for skills).
