I understand the frustration with OP on this one. It seems like everyone who was serious about this game was able to get the AF gear for each job, and as such they could slide into any uniform and be any role as needed. I think part of this is how easy it is for characters to get to level 50 on everything and unlock all the achievements for each class. Once everyone gets a gold star, gold stars aren't that special anymore. Part of the appeal of a role playing game is that you play a role in the game - and that role should be something that you can do better than anyone else because you dedicated yourself to it. When it is so easy to get to level 50, and all the gear that benefits that class is the same for everyone, pretty soon everyone will be sitting on the top and all have the same everything. It really makes the game feel bland and makes your achievements feel worthless.

When I first saw people getting to level 50 in the first year of the game I thought to myself "Damn, you worked hard. Bravo, sir in your achievement." Now when I see people at 50 I think to myself "Meh, we're all at 50."
