I really don't understand it when people are so strict about certain things in the game. Just do whatever you want, and get the most fun out of the game instead about being concerned with being all uber and having all the crazy gear or summons, or the exact job/subjob combo.
Hear, hear!

Felt like a robot trying to play my job in the same way that every other player with that job had done before me, it's pretty boring being told every little thing you have to do. And I'm especially irked when someone "sighs dejectedly" when I'm not entirely there.

Got my SMN up to 10 today, and skillups to 20. :] definitely gonna solo the other avatars when I reach 20. Sounds like fun.
