If (new) players would level that fast from LV1 / 30 / 50 / 60 up to Maxlevel a ka LV 80, I am pretty sure they wouldn't be able to get the most out of their job.

I'm no elitist, but I say each job a person plays should be understood by them.
->Looking at many new players (including rushers) I have seen in the last years, people who take their time with FFXIV are usually (far) better in this undertaking than those who can't wait to join in the tomestone-grind-machine.

And it's not only about knowing how / when to use what skill. Being capable of dodging AOEs and grasping mechanics / marks / debuffs is also something a player can't obtain by quick-leveling.

(I have seen in the last weeks many newer healers who never use Esuna on paralysis / poison and even let people die to doom. Coincidence?)
The issue with this is in duties everything dies so fast you don't get to really experience these mechanics until the end game. Sure you get the occasional one that comes out due to them being scripted that way but most of the time people just blow threw these so fast. Everything until endgame is pretty much tank and spank since you are being grouped with max level players with the occasional one shot mechanic.
