Takes too long to level a job? Takes too long to gear that job? Takes too long to get skills capped on that job? I guess somebody brand new to the game should be able to jump right into end game content.
Oh so easy to say, but so hard to do.
OK smart guy, let's embark on a hypothetical journey. You lose your character, and the server you were on is blocked from allowing you to return. You are forced to start over on a new server as a new character. Tell me, how will you get into Delve?
You see, what I am saying is the community needs to get off the "RME ONRY OR GTFO" kick. In the above scenario, unless you find some
really nice people, you are ****** for a very, very long time. You need Dynamis wins and currency to get a Relic weapon, plus tons of gil to get the "accepted" version of the weapon. Mythic, you need a ton of requirements I've detailed elsewhere. Empyrean requires you to have help or gil to pay for help. And that's just to be
allowed to play as a DD. And, again, if we are coming at it from the BRD/RDM/WHM side, what if you did not
want to play a mage? You'd suffer through 98 levels, all the farming and gearing for that job just so you can turn around and gear what you want. Doable? Yes. Fun? **** no.

It's more fun than being semi-afk in town waiting for an invite that will never come from groups that don't want you. I guess my definition of fun is different than other peoples. Not wasting 12.95 a month to sit idle is another bonus.
And who says you would be accepted even if you followed the sage advice you have been giving? You need RME to be a DD. Relic and/or RME to tank. So toss out every melee. So that leaves, what, three BRD slots, 2/3 WHM slots and maybe a RDM tossed in? Maybe a BLM, depending? Given the rapidity I've seen shouts start and end once the RMEs have shown up, I'm guessing you very well will stand idle, thumb up your ***, hoping to get picked. Especially if all of us "leeches" follow your grand master plan.

People like myself being the ones who leveled BRD and WHM and whatever else in order to not be stuck sitting in Jeuno in the first place? People like me being the ones who have already put other people's 'fun' ahead of their own so that events don't go down in a flaming pile of sh*t and death?
Oh, so you've suffered, have you? Oh poor, poor baby. My heart bleeds for you. And yet, here I am saying "Hey, wouldn't it be nice if you could have actually played the job you enjoyed rather than slogging through ****?" Does that not resonate with you, given the fact you have "paid your dues"? Oh wait, that's right, for people like you, this is not a video game. It's their life. You must do whatever it takes, no matter how miserable it makes you, to achieve "success"!
I think all you have succeeded in doing is turning yourself in a jaded, bitter, and arrogant jackass. Remember when the game was fun? Oh wait, it still is "fun" for you, isn't it? Because, as you ***** about having to gear your BRD or WHM up for yet another run so that you can ensure "that events don't go down in a flaming pile of sh*t and death", you are having oh so much fun, aren't you?

Really? no u.
Why? I am not so arrogant as to believe my way is the only right way. You can follow what you're saying, hate yourself every second you do it, and get your stuff. I am just suggesting a rational, logical alternative solution that others are actually using depending on their server. You're the one demanding people do as you do.
So yes, you need to get over yourself. Your precious suffering for virtual shinies is meaningless, and should have opened your eyes to find another way for others, but all it's done is leave you a sad, bitter gamer who thinks everyone needs to suffer like they did, because reasons.
