Low level gameplay: A growing problem

[linay]

You heavily overestimate how badly early game is already tuned 3 expansions later.

You could level some dps classes (Dragoon specifically) by mashing 1 button instead of your actual damage combos for a good number of levels.

Hell, dungeons were balanced around cross-class spells being a thing, and situations like: every tank having access to an ae +threat that wasnt on the primary resource, or every healer (and one tank) having access to regularly available mitigation in stoneskin.

All the more reason not to make it worse.
