18 pages of posts is too long to read through, but I did read a handful of posts.
I'm just gonna offer my opinion to the original post.
People are gonna rp the way they want, whom they want.
I'm in the bandwagon of not caring so much about ooc levels, I see them as a game mechanic far more than anything else.
If a bunch of people start saying they're the only one of _____ job (where the in-game quests state there's only one on Hydaelyn/Eorzea), then there's a problem (I know, not everyone is gonna say they're character is that job, but a lot of them can).
Also, I read in posts before mine, some jobs can't fit the character (someone posted their character is a ballistics/engineer specialist).
Not to mention, many have alts that they're too lazy to level.
My main, Hunfrid, is a toymaker/tinkerer by trade. Goldsmithing can kind of fill that role as an in-game class/job, but is not what he is. I don't have the patience to level it to max, too.
Hunfrid recently began studying conjurery in his free time, and though he is a level 48 white mage, he's still got a long way to go.
TLDR: If you want to RP your way, do it. Just don't get upset when people don't like it or won't rp with you because of what/how you want to rp.
