Guy a good player wouldnt need the back up 75 whm to prove themselfs, they'd go at it alone and show everyone how little a subjob matters to them. If you think someone PL a stiff is a sign of a good player well I guess anyone who's done anything without a PL's aid pales in comparison.
And depending on that persons level at the time a healer with a sub may indeed be suffering, I myself seeked as rdm seen a potentual party forming but never got an invite, maybe they took a PL instead to speed up their exp gain. You see its not just this one event that bothers me its the fact that players are lazy and if they see anything that comes with the added feature of a high lv PL they go for that even if mages are seeking their level.
Have fun with your toon if you want to, but dont expect the world to bend over and cut you a deal because you can dual box a PL with your limited skills persona. I have several alternative characters I have leveled over the years in this game and each of them has a sub job. I take pride in what I do to anything I have.
I take pride in stuff like that too just like you do. I dont recall a time I ever leveled with a gimp sub and the only time I used a gimp sub was when I was still leveling /whm for Chi blast. I think after so many years of seeing the same level grinds once in a while people just get a wild idea and try to do somehting different, even if it is not practical. To be honest I would take any other healer / refresher type that has a sub job leveled first. Most all of us would. But if there is just someone like this, and it was a choice of no xp or xping with this guy and his PL, I think most of us would rather advance than continue looking for a group. At least they had fun in the party, even as unorthodox as it was.
As far as PLs go in general: I am mixed in my feelings towards them.. They are a double edged sword. One side we PL ourselves through crappy zones to get our umpteenth sub leveled and we want to do it quicker. The other side we don't teach people how to fend for themselves in a regular party settup at lower levels.
I have seen a PL in Bibiki Bay on Dhalmels though... SO i suppose it is not confined to just lower level PLing.
