No, because they don't know how to do it.
Did you know that if you buy a "preleveled" character coupon in Cash Shop, you don't actually get a level 50/100/150 character?
Rather, you get a level 1 character, and an experience potion that can get you to 50/100/150, one level at a time.
There are also many classes you can't buy a preleveled coupon for at all.
You know why?
Because Nexon doesn't know how to create a non-beginner character that isn't glitched to high heaven. So they tell you to drink that exp potion and take your job advancements at the proper junctions. And there are many classes you can't even buy a coupon for, because they have other required tutorial/story quests that would make for a very messed up character if skipped.
Do you remember Ultimate Explorers?
They were adventurers that could be created if you had a level 120 Cygnus Knight, and were level 50 right off the bat. They lacked the inventory expansions that normal Explorers got as part of their first and second job advancements, and they lacked HP or MP that they would have gotten if they'd maxed the relevant skills at a lower level.
I don't remember whether Nexon ever fixed them. But obviously they learned their lesson and don't allow creation of characters at a level higher than 1, anymore.
When you job-change, you're effectively creating a high-level character of whatever class you changed to. With adventurers you can do that because they all have the same storyline (except for Cannoneers and DB's, and I hear there are glitches when changing to/from those classes), so your character's "personal history" is appropriate for the destination class. But if you tried to change a high-level Beast Tamer into, say, a Kinesis, it would be missing the entire story quest line and might not even be able to go back and do it from the beginning because it would be on the wrong side of the portal that it never unlocked.
So yeah. Considering how technically messy an open job change would be, and how easy it is to just level a new character, I think it's safe to say that completely open job change will never be a thing.
