    The issue is that before when there were only 12-14 jobs, it would have been fine to make decent job quests. Now we have uh....17 or 18 jobs? It becomes more and more daunting to write job quests for that many jobs. It's a shame because I LIVE for the job lore and we got so little of it. How did we get some of these powers? Hell I would kill for flavor text in the tooltips or SOMETHING.

    why did they need to cut all the DoH and DoL quests down too? we didn't get any new classes there. Ahm Areng mining quests and Rak'tika botany quests would've been great.

    i'm okay with the current set of Role Quests as the 3 i've done so far have been very high quality but this is a bad precedent to accept with no push back.

    The DOL ones feel especially weird that they consolidated miner/botanist but let fisher have its own.

    I thought maybe they'd use the patches to provide another job quest for 5.1, 5.2, 5.3 ect. to deal with the extra jobs. Could have been a way of keeping players interested by having more story content in the patches.

    That doesn't make any sense:
    1) They only have 2 more jobs than SB
    2) Look at the number of sidequests in all the hamlets of ShB..
    No doubt they have the resources to create those quests.

    My opinion is they thought it would have been too convenient to have 18 tutors in the first and too immersion breaking to ask the hero to return to the source while doing the MSQ.
    I feel they wanted the role-quest to shine and they had a much better story to tell.

    I feel like this is the big reason for the Role Quests.

    Incidentally, I was quite let down by the 80 Warrior quest, because while I like Curious Gorge, and I like Dorongo, I hate their romance, and wish that they had nothing to do with each other. Although, with the open-endeness of the quest, is it possible we'll be seeing a bunch of level 80 Job Quests spread out over the expansion? That will augment the armour and weapons we got from maxing the class?

    Please? I don't even want to think about it being gated behind Eureka 2.0
