I've leveled a few jobs through the Dunes, Qufim, and Kazham and I've noticed a couple things with players.
1. Pulling- I've noticed that a lot of melee's don't even bother to get a ranged weapon, etc when they level(especcially Ninjas, and Theives). They want to avoid being puller, so they don't buy a ranged weapon or anything. I've had to pull as Bard and Black Mage, even though the Dark Knight could pull with Poison and it would be safer since my DEF is lower than theirs, and I've got to keep songs up, so it was more work, but whatever. Basically, when it comes to picking puller, everyone puts their finger on their nose and say "Not it!". I've seen too many Ninjas and Theives(not including the new player theives) that don't carry a ranged weapon, or anything, and ABSOLUTELY avoid being puller.
2. Tanking- When there is no PLD, or NIN around, you invite a WAR don't you? Yeah, so I invite a couple WAR's. Again with the finger on the nose deal. I've had to tank as SAM(Yeah, it works in the early levels however WAR does better IMO) however, I was also puller as well. I might as well be main healer while i'm at it. I've almost tanked as Theif before. At least I was competent in my abilities to tank as a non-tanking class.
3. Incompetent Players- Usually when i'm a melee, i always try to set up a skillchain, however, people like to think that it's retarded to skillchain. "Waah! It takes so long to set up one!" Ok, how does "Tachi: Enpi >> Burning Blade" take too long? "Waah! Timing is so difficult!" How the hell is counting to three after they do their weapon skill SO HARD? "TP reports are just useless battle spam!" It is not useful at all, i'd rather have you spam it every 10 seconds than not at all, I'd like to know when you are close to 100% TP.
These three can be associated with new players, however, i'm refering these off players that have leveled a job past 30, and sometimes even rank 5+(This falls under the thing that rank does not matter despute).
