This is going to sound snotty, but I can't think of a different way to phrase so, it please prematurely remove the venom from my next couple of sentences.
Did you actually DO CoP when it came out? I didn't, I didn't do the Promy encounters until like, 2008, and they were ball-bustingly hard. It wasn't "just" level 30 content, it was synced to level 30. It required practically a strike team of well-geared, good-playing classes (or a flock of summoners, but again, that required a lot of effort too). 30 wasn't the max level, but you could not enter those fights at a higher level due to the way the zones worked. Please don't let memory of the game dull its fangs at all: CoP locked lots of the expansion away behind very difficult fights.
Further, SE has announced that the new jobs will be unlockable at level 30. It might be classic SE-MMO obfuscation, but it would see dumb to me to say something is unlockable at level 30 but actually require level 50 to get to the place where you unlock the quest.
