WoW had a level, stat AND world (zones/mobs) level squish.
Max before was 120 before. Now 60 (soon 70). Nothing to do with skills. Heck, they barely gave new skills unless it was part of borrowed power last two expansions.
With FF14, they could stop at 90 or 100 to even it. Everything is block behind Msq and Ilvl anywho.

I started leveling a Drg (melee dps) so 2cent but this goes beyond Drg. I'll like if jobs were easier. If this game didn't have controller support I would never played FF14..or got far. That where I enjoy WoW classes over FF14 job bloat any day.
