I understand that FFXI did it with advanced jobs, but I don't think it made any sense then either.
The bolded is what makes MMORPGs boring and why every new class and race addition is boring after the first 20 minutes -- Class quests doesn't making something harder than others, it gives you content to do rather than going to an NPC and buying a weapon and tada! You're now a master of summoning primals.

If that's your kind of thing more power to you, but there luckily are still a lot of MMO gamers who like doing quests with a purpose.
