Wow.. I'm surprised they stayed around to chat as long as they did.

If you're still around Minro, it's all true, unfortunately. One thing I don't think was mentioned in great detail, all the jobs at 50 or lower got neutered af throughout the expansions. They had to delete skills to make room for news ones, they changed the cross-role skills around entirely (you used to have to level up 2 or 3 other jobs to get cross class skills), and even the content itself below level 60 got nerfed to oblivion.

BUT.. There is more to be had at level cap. Combat will feel a bit faster paced, there's more abilities and more mechanics to handle. More gear and glamour to obtain, side quests and larger zones open up, more difficult content is accessible.. There's a lot more you haven't seen. Yes, lv60 and below is pretty rough. 50 and below even worse because of all the changes that have happened since it was originally current.

It get's better if you can stick it out. Honestly if you like faster paced combat you should try a melee job like monk, ninja or sam. Personally I never liked casters that much because it's too much standing around, melee's are a lot more engaging IMO.
