I thought at some point, there were several job guides are posted on QCDN, unless those were tossed out. I remember seeing them a few years ago, so this is likely possible.
I personally see nothing wrong with people writing guides, but I agree that they aren't really needed. You can find guides on anything, and even some of them are just repeated information. The biggest problem I have with guides is that they are pretty general, which is why I liked the sub forms for jobs discussions, since you can ask specific questions.
I don't think we need to split into Beginner/Advanced. As much as QCDN wants to bring in new traffic, a lot of the same people have been here or years. And a lot of people have been playing this game for years. QCDN, in my opinion at least, doesn't have that many new players coming to the site to ask beginner job questions, and a lot of people who pick up a new job know well enough how to get started. Like I said, that's just my opinion. I see the job discussion forms as discussions, not really "How to's".
Edit: Upon further inspection of the job discussion form, I don't really see anyone asking 'beginner' type questions. Most of it is comparing gear, advice that other players just decide to bring to the table or people just discussing random things like white mage melee.
