I have to admit, it feels like a bit of an arms race at times. Graeham was designed to gradually learn how to defend himself over time and currently he's in the process of learning how to use a firearm in preparation for the arrival of the machinist class.
Since he's only nineteen and I intend to stick with FFXIV and my character for quite some time I have no issue with his development happening at a leisurely pace. Though I do feel as though other role-players exploit him as a punching bag or refuse to let him put the skills he does possess into play because they'd sooner stand in the spotlight at every turn.
It's very enlightening as someone who primarily role-played xperienced soldiers in other MMO's.
