This is precisely why it's pointless. Again, forcing a lower starting level for the purpose of "training" or "tutorial" or otherwise learning a job simply doesn't work. If it's incredibly easy and wouldn't make a difference, then it's not going to be helpful in improving player ability anyway. Not to mention people can just PotD to 60 and the HoH to 70, avoiding any real group content altogether.

Forced tutorials in the form of making people start at a lower level doesn't accomplish anything. For those who know what they are doing and are used to tanking, you're just wasting their time. For those that don't know what they're doing or are new to tanking, they aren't going to improve unless they make an effort to... which forcing low level content on them doesn't do.

Also, I'm not sure the 50 or 60 skillsets really need getting accustomed to. You're generally shoehorned into a very limited combo that even a bad player would have a hard time screwing up. Especially the 50 skillset.

Starting GNB and DNC (probably) at 60 is fine. 70 would be better (with the requirement that people have a 70 job already), but 60 is acceptable.


EDIT: Oh, and the stuff about starting low levels was directed towards a different poster, not you.
